During the summer season the Festival of Arts presents its Pageant of the Masters, featuring re-creations of classical and contemporary works with live models, a full orchestra and live narration .

Seriously incredible and unique live event blending fine arts , performance , and music . There isn't much lovelier than sitting outside and watching theater come to life.

Since 1933, the Pageant features "living pictures" in which people look as though they are part of famous artworks using costumes , makeup, headdresses, lighting, props, and backdrops.

Just a stunning show! Changes every years and is fantastic. Live music , dance , narration . Even the very back row was a good view .

Blankets & sweaters are essential items to bring to the Pageant of the Masters; real wine glasses are a smart choice too.

My 3rd Pageant, looking forward to next year. Beautiful traditional art event in an outside amphitheater . Join as member $40 a year, buy Loge Center tkts for $65 each, you will see "blinks" et al...

Highly recommend an Art tour in Laguna beach area , visit Fair-A-Art, Sawdust Art festival and last thing Festival of Art .

I can think of only a handful of events worldwide that offer and evening under the stars as enchanting as The Pageant.

Love music , gorgeous venue, great outdoors, Laguna summer PERFECTION!! ????????♥️????????????????????????????‍♀️

a unique show of tableaux vivants. (be sure to bring warm clothes !)

Dress warmly, bring snacks , and don't forget seating cushions for your bums! And binoculars if you'd like.

Everyone show see this show, at least once. More is better.

Laguna Beach (See): These two events are time honered traditions in the summer and tickets sell out quickly. Be sure to purchase ahead of time online! Read more

Bring your own ????

Had a wonderful time at The Pageant of the Masters. A must see .

Open 10 am - 11:30pm July and August. Cheyne Walls limited edition photographs are exhibited at booth # 1

My fourth Pageant! I have loved everyone of them and look forward to the next one!

Leave plenty of time to explore the Art Affair & Sawdust Festival !

Don't miss it. It was unbeliveable.

The pageant is splendid however the gallery at large is very average, bordering on dull. Nothing really confronting or close to cutting edge. Dare I say...safe!?

Pageant of the Masters is a must see if you are in the area!!

Most of the artists were not manning their booths . Pretty strange setup.

the reveal of the paintings is always so magical. Read more
