The Pageant of the Masters, 90‑minute live-performance art show set under the stars in Laguna Beach. It brings classical and contemporary paintings to life as “living pictures,” with hundreds of volunteers posing in elaborate costumes, lighting, and sets to mimic famous works. Each performance is accompanied by a professional orchestra, narration, and original music, creating a theatrical blend of art and storytelling. As part of the Festival of Arts, a ticket to the Pageant grants unlimited access to the fine art exhibition and live music throughout the summer Get your tickets:
