All three Laguna Beach art festivals are on a single stretch of Laguna Canyon Road; all offer activities and live-music events. The Festival of Arts is California's longest-running outdoor fine-art exhibition. Laguna Art-A-Fair is also a juried show featuring a wide array of media. The quirkier Sawdust Art Festival is more craft-inspired.
The renowned Pageant of the Masters, outdoors at the Festival of Arts, features tableaux vivants (“living pictures”), re-creations by live models of works of art with live narration and orchestra. Next door to the festival is the Laguna Playhouse, which presents comedic and profound theatrical fare but is fairly quiet in the summer.
The finest dining near the festivals is adjacent to the Sawdust at the Hive. New Oliver's Osteria has distinguished itself as one of the county’s finest Italian restaurants. Another Kind Cafe, also new, offers creative Vietnamese and “crossed-culture cuisine.” Kitchen in the Canyon is a favorite gathering spot for breakfast and brunch.
The finest drinking near the festivals is also at the Hive. The new tasting room of Santa Ynez Valley-based McClain Cellars offers excellent wines as well as olive oil, artisan popcorn and live guitar. Find nearly two dozen taps and styles of brew—plus sandwiches, salads and snacks—at Laguna Beach Beer Co.
