Festival of the Arts Pageant of the Masters

2023 Pageant of the Masters® Theme
The Time Machine
Join us in 2023 as the Pageant of the Masters celebrates the 90th anniversary of the first presentation of “living pictures” at the Festival of Arts. ART COLONY: IN THE COMPANY OF ARTISTS acknowledges the deep connections of the Festival and Pageant to the early artists who settled in Laguna Beach. It will also feature other memorable stories of artists assisting one another through cooperation and fellowship in vastly different eras and circumstances around the world.

Each night under the stars in the Pageant of the Masters’ outdoor amphitheater, famous works of art are re-created with real people posing in elaborate sets. Be amazed by the Pageant’s intoxicating blend of original music, storytelling and stage illusions. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind, must-see summer tradition!
