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 2023 theme is "Art Colony: In the Company of Artists," which highlights groups of artists through the ages and around the globe who have worked together and inspired each other; in addition to featuring well-known and lesser known artist colonies, this year's theme acknowledges the deep connections of the Festival and Pageant to the early artists who settled in Laguna Beach.

The 2023 Pageant continues nightly through September 1. 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.
