We celebrate life, its day-to-day moments, and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences residents have at Lakewood Ranch – many of which help to raise money for local non-profits. Our award-winning lifestyle team has been nationally recognized for the creative ways they connect our residents. Through these community events, our residents have fun, meet neighbors, and make memories, all while doing some good.
On the first Friday of each month, the whole community comes out for Music on Main. Live music, deejays, shopping, dancing, dining – it’s a ton of fun and all for a good cause.
All year long, the weekly Farmers’ Market at Lakewood Ranch brings fresh veggies and local purveyors to the community at Waterside Place town center.
October through May, residents and friends gather at Waterside Place for their favorite weeknight hangout. Enjoy it all from live music, food trucks, The Nite Market, cornhole and libations.
Watching a polo match on Sundays in season is a local tradition. Insider’s tip: get your name on the waitlist for tailgating spots early!
This gives a whole new meaning to having some friends over to watch the Bolts! The next best thing to being in the stadium!
Seeing a live performance without the confines of a theater opens up all new possibilities – and memories that last a lifetime.
From Celtic Fest and BooFest to our Eggstravaganza egg hunt and Tribute to Heroes Parade, holidays on The Ranch are always festive.
Come cheer on your favorite local, state and national teams. With 23 fields and 140 acres, there’s nothing else like it as an athlete or a spectator!
Every month at Lakewood Ranch, we celebrate the best local visual, musical, and performing arts the Sarasota region offers. Sights + Sounds, our newest signature event, will showcase theater, orchestra, acapella performances, art shows, and more!
