The Pageant of the Masters is the Festival of Arts’ crowning jewel and arguably one of the most unique productions in the entire world. You’ll be amazed and enchanted by 90 minutes of tableaux vivants (living pictures), incredibly faithful re­creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant of the Masters as the best presentation of its kind. This year’s theme, Wonderful World, is a love letter to our common humanity, and the countless ways in which artists have asked the eternal question: “Why are we here?” Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!

Our afternoon arrival in Laguna allows you plenty of time to enjoy the ocean, shopping, and dinner before the show. Enjoy preferred front main tier center seating and includes admission to the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show. The nearby Sonesta Select Hotel in Laguna Hills is your post-pageant retreat, with comfortable accommodations for the night. The following day, explore Roger’s  Gardens and Fashion Island in Newport Beach before returning to the desert at 4:00 p.m.
