Each spring, we gather together to celebrate what makes DC Ranch special—all of you! DC Ranch Day takes the community back to its roots with a western-theme bash designed to give neighbors—young and old—a chance to meet, socialize, eat and dance.

Enjoy country dancing with lively Georgia Chrome, a delicious Tex-Mex BBQ, cornhole and lawn games for kids of all ages. To whet your appetite, the chuck wagon will be serving street tacos with red chili beef or achiote rubbed pulled chicken, plus slaw, pineapple and spicy salsas, pico de gallo, and guacamole; grilled Mexican street corn; Tejano beans with cheddar; Spanish rice; cheese quesadillas; Mexican cookies; raspberry lemonade and sweet tea.

Salsa Challenge
Step up to the Salsa Challenge, judged by City of Scottsdale Fire and Police Chiefs and special guest judge, Miss Scottsdale 2017 Laetitia Hua, a DC Ranch resident. Whether you like your salsa flaming hot, fruity sweet, with avocado, or some other interesting combo, compete for bragging rights and a special salsa challenge winner apron. You supply the salsa, Market Street’s Jalapeno Inferno will supply the chips, and everyone can sample the salsas when judging is complete. Email Lynette Whitener at lynette.whitener@dcranchinc.com if you are interested in the Salsa Challenge.
