The original Laguna Beach art festival, Festival of Arts, hits famed Laguna Canyon for its 85^th year starting July 5^th, running through August 31^st. This art festival showcases all juried original works from southern Orange County artists as well as the famed Pageant of the Masters, a spectacle re-creating famous works of art with real people standing in as subjects of the paintings. This year’s Pageant of the Masters theme is “The Grand Tour” and will feature about 35 classic works re-created on a rotating stage with a narrator telling the tale of each work through the years.

Coupled with Laguna Art-A-Fair and the Sawdust Art & Crafts Festival, Festival of Arts creates an exciting trifecta of art celebration and discovery in one of Southern California’s most scenic beach locales renowned for its unique, thriving arts community.
