Monthly Ranch Night Market aims for a festival feel in Ladera Ranch
By Orange County on May 14, 2019
Ladera Ranch is “re-imagining” the traditional farmers market, creating “a small-town street festival” feel, Chamber of Commerce officials say.
On May 10, shoppers wandered booths of fresh produce, handmade treats and artisan crafts at the monthly Ranch Night Market while the Potters Band performed. Kids were entertained while parents shopped and enjoyed the beer and wine garden.

The Ranch Night Market returned in March and since then, the Ladera Ranch Chamber of Commerce has been adding to the line-up in response to residents’ requests.
The market, held the second Friday of each month in the parking lot of the Mercantile West Shopping Center at 25642 Crown Valley Parkway, will next be on June 14.
