The Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach | Laguna Beach
Celebration
Witness art come alive in a dazzling open-air theater. This is an absolutely unique experience. Performances will run nightly from July 9th to September 4th, 2026. Every evening during the festival's summer schedule, ticket holders will be awestruck and captivated by 90-minute "tableau vivant" performances. These performances recreate classical and contemporary artworks with incredible fidelity, with live performers striking poses identical to the figures in the original works. The open-air theater, professional orchestra, original soundtrack, live commentary, exquisite sets, state-of-the-art lighting, professional staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have earned the Masters Festival the reputation of being among the best performances of its kind. The 2026 "Masters Festival: The Greatest Ever" presents a spectacular visual feast themed around art and artists. This masterclass performance will take you on an unforgettable journey, showcasing masterpieces by Michelangelo, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Velázquez, Norman Rockwell, and others. These artistic treasures will no longer be merely hanging on the walls, but will be breathed new life through a wondrous fusion of art, music, and theater.
