Moraga Farmer’s Market: Every Sunday at the corner of Moraga Rd and Moraga Way. Freshly caught wild fish, organic fruits and vegetables, eggs, grass fed beef, French baguettes and pastries and more.

Hiking Trails: Moraga is nestled amidst some spectacular ridgelines, and there are many terrific hiking trails. Try the moderate six-mile Rocky Ridge – King Canyon Loop, which starts at the Valle Vista Staging Area on Canyon Rd. This is part of the web of trails maintained by the East Bay Municipal Utility District, and a Trail Use Permit is required. The permit is only $10 for a year and is available online at www.ebmud.com/services/recreation/.

You can also a get a permit at the Hacienda de Las Flores, the Lafayette Reservoir and Watershed Headquarters in Orinda. The Mulholland Ridge is another not-to-be missed hike that will reward you with stunning panoramic views. Pick up the trail at the top of Donald Drive. Birders will want to keep an eye out for white-tailed kites, red-tailed hawks and American kestrels. The Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail Loop is a rather strenuous hike itself but features easy access trails to the Reservoir Recreation Area for fishing, pedal-boating and other fun activities. Click here for trail maps.

Parks: Take the kids to play at the Moraga Commons, Rancho Laguna or the Hacienda de Las Flores. The Commons has a new and improved water play area for little ones, and Rancho Laguna boasts the trailhead to one of the most beautiful EBMUD trails in the region. The gate at the back of the park is your magic portal (a use permit is required for this trail as well).

The Moraga Pear Festival will be held in late September with music, crafts, inflatables, pies and a petting zoo.
