Solano County proclaims July 7–13, 2026 as '707 Week' to celebrate regional culture and small business
Summary
The Board approved a resolution recognizing 707 Week countywide to promote local businesses, entrepreneurship and cultural events; committee co-chairs and sponsors outlined a multi-city schedule of events, workforce and vendor goals.
The Solano County Board of Supervisors on June 23 adopted a resolution proclaiming July 7–13, 2026 as 707 Week, a countywide series of events intended to celebrate local culture, support small businesses and promote civic pride.
Vice Chair Supervisor Cassandra R. James moved the resolution and the board approved it by unanimous vote. Andrea Portillo, identified in the record as a 2026 co‑chair of the 707 committee, described the week as ‘‘more than a celebration’’ — a countywide effort to highlight culture, entrepreneurship and workforce development, and she read a statement on behalf of a co‑chair who could not attend.
Portillo and other committee members listed founding sponsors and partners, including local cities, nonprofits, arts groups, Solano Community College, Solano Transit and the Workforce Development Board. The organizers said the 2025 inaugural week hosted roughly 1,800 attendees over multiple events; the 2026 lineup includes job fairs, cultural performances and a special San Francisco Bay Ferry partnership that organizers said will offer a promotional fare.
County leaders and multiple community members also addressed the board in support of the proclamation. Kya Shabbaz, Sarah Anders and other speakers emphasized 707 Week’s aim to ‘‘uplift stories, residents and entrepreneurs’’ and to foster a sense of belonging in a geographically diverse county.
The resolution asks residents, businesses and organizations to participate in activities to promote local businesses and culture countywide. The action was ceremonial; the board did not adopt additional funding or directives as part of the proclamation.
