DRAFTED SEPTEMBER 7, 2026
The week after Labor Day brings several useful dates for Ladera Ranch families. Here is the short version, with links to the official sources so you can confirm details before heading out.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10: RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE
LaderaLife lists an American Red Cross blood drive for Thursday, September 10, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Donors should use the official event listing to confirm the location, eligibility information and appointment availability.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12: SUN PRINTS AT HERITAGE FARM
The Sun Prints Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Heritage Farm. The activity uses flowers and leaves to create solar prints and is listed as an all-ages community program. Check the event page for registration and access requirements before attending.
SUNDAY: FARMERS MARKET
The Ladera Ranch Farmers Market continues at Founders Park on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Because community schedules and vendor participation can change, the official LaderaLife calendar is the best place to check for updates.
SCHOOL CALENDAR REMINDERS
The Capistrano Unified calendar for Ladera Ranch Middle School lists school-picture make-up day on Friday, September 11. It also lists the end of the first-quarter progress period on September 18 and a minimum day on September 23.
THE QUICK PLAN
• Make a Red Cross appointment before Thursday if you plan to donate. • Confirm registration before visiting the Heritage Farm workshop. • Add the September 18 and September 23 school dates to the family calendar now. • Recheck official event pages for late changes.
Inside Ladera Weekly will keep these practical dates in one place so residents can spend less time searching and more time participating.
