“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 much¾ 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.
Taste of Ladera also has a great line-up of entertainment for all ages. On Saturday, May 2nd, rock out to tribute band No Duh channeling front lady Gwen Stefani with songs made famous by No Doubt. Then rounding out the night is 90’s favorite band Sugar Ray whose hits include “Fly” and “Every Morning.”
Sunday, Taste of Ladera will feature a special “family day” where the entertainment is ready with mom’s rockin’ the house on stage and teen sensations getting everyone on their feet.
