Farmer’s Market to Debut in Lido Village in Newport Beach
Farmer’s Market to Debut in Lido Village in Newport Beach
July 11, 2010
A farmers market won the city of Newport Beach approval and will debut on July 11, 2010 on Via Oporto in Newport Beach. Via Oporto is a brick lined street in Lido Marina Village. Lido Marina Village is also the site of the Newport Beach Boat Show.
This weekly event could drive additional visitors into the neighborhood. Visitors to farmers markets have more interactions with other people when compared with traditional grocery stores according to Councilman Nancy Gardner who represents Corona del Mar.
The Farmer’s market will be certified which means the vendors will be genuine farmers selling their goods directly to the public. The Farmer’s Market will operate every Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm every Sunday.
Hope to see you at the Farmers Market in Newport Beach.

37th Newport Boat Show at Lido Marina Village
37th Newport Boat Show at Lido Marina Village
The 37th annual Newport Boat Show was held last weekend at the Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach. This is always a fun event to come out and view and tour the beautiful yachts. For the most part, it is possible to board and tour the beautiful yachts. Before beginning our tour of the Newport Beach boat show, we had a delicious lunch at the Lido Deck restaurant which is located on Via Oporto in Lido Marina Village.
There were over 300 boats at the boat show this year, and we were able to view some amazing yachts.
This was a site that you do not see too often, the Newport Harbor Patrol was racing towards the boat show area, and actually came and docked the boat. Apparently, two people fell off one of the ramps to get on the boat, and unfortunately I believe one of the people were taken to the hospital.
And another salesman told me that there was some other action at the boat show. Apparently, a swarm of bees came and landed and surrounded one of the boats on display. The section had to closed off to spectators so that no one would get stung. The salesman told me that they got the bees under control with a shop vac! Glad I missed that! Although – I did see a few stragglers hanging around.
And someone brought their regal little dog who posed for me,
Below – one of my favorite boat names of the show!
And this last vessel, although I do not think that it was officially in the boat show is kind of unique. Not sure about the power source for this boat, or if it just floats . . . kind of reminds me of pac man – think I’ll name it Blinky!
So that was the adventure at the boat show. If I can answer any questions about Newport Beach real estate, please contact me.
