You may want to book your visit to Laguna Beach on days when one of its many festivals is scheduled. The Pageant of the Masters—one of the world’s most unique festivals—presents 90 minutes of “living pictures.” People pose to look exactly like their counterparts in classical and contemporary works of art.
The Festival of Arts—an annual event for more than 80 years—showcases the works of about 140 Orange County artists. The arts show presents paintings, photography, glassware, ceramics, sculptures, jewelry and handcrafted furniture.
