Where High Art Comes To Life

The Pageant of the Masters is a highly unique tradition where art comes to life and the crown jewel of Laguna Beach's annual Festival of Arts. Since 1932, this stage show, held in conjunction with the summer arts festival, has combined visual and performance arts in an unmissable and unforgettable way which brings visitors back year after year.

What To Expect

A production unlike any other, Pageant of the Masters is 90 minutes of stunning "living pictures" recreating and bringing to life classical and contemporary artworks right before your eyes. It is created using a professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate set, costume and make-up design plus a cast of hundreds of dedicated volunteers. Each year artworks are chosen around a theme which promises to be as engaging intellectually as it is visually.
