The Fifth Annual Taste of Ladera: May 2-3, Founders Park
The Taste of Ladera, is a premier food and music festival in Ladera Ranch that promises loads of fun for the entire family. We are proud to be the community’s signature fundraising event that helps local schools, youth programs and other local nonprofits. Through the years, the event has spun into South Orange County’s biggest party, celebrating the finest local cuisine, music and community fun.
You can expect the finest samplings from local restaurants such as the Ranch Sports Grill or see the amazing sushi chefs from Riptide making bites that melt in your mouth along with refreshing martinis. New in town, is the already famous Derby Deli which promises the best tasting New York “inspired” delicatessen sandwiches that are mouth-watering. Café Maiz will even offer mighty margaritas that will quench your thirst. These are just some of the dozens who will participate this year.
“The Taste of Ladera began as a way for businesses and nonprofits to come together and raise awareness for the community,” said Michelle Patterson, Founder. “Now in its fifth year, we have seen the event expand with thousands of attendees flocking to Founders Park to have fun. This event is a vehicle for the charities involved to raise money for their organizations, and I’m very proud to see that our community cares so much- it’s definitely unlike any other “taste” in the country.” Patterson, who resides in Ladera Ranch, started the festival as a vehicle to raise funds for several community nonprofits in need. Her enthusiasm and philanthropy has positioned Taste of Ladera as “a hot ticket event” with support from local eateries, city officials and surrounding cities that border Ladera Ranch.
