Actors, designers, and a full orchestra recreate great works of art as living pictures in a hillside amphitheater under the stars in the Pageant of the Masters, Laguna's signature nightly summertime event.

Since 1932 Laguna Beach has hosted the epic Pageant of the Masters. The 2025 theme is "Gold Coast: Treasures of California", which takes the audience on an unforgettable journey along California’s coast, showcasing masterpieces from world-class museums like the Getty, LACMA, Laguna Art Museum, de Young Museum, Timken Museum of Art, and more, plus iconic monuments from some of the state’s most famous cities.

The 2025 Pageant continues nightly through August 29, 2025. Pageant performances are at 8:30pm.

No children under the age of four will be admitted into the theater. Every patron must have a ticket, sit in a seat, and be able to sit quietly throughout the entire performance.
