Laguna

Laguna Beach is  located in southern Orange County, approximately 24 miles southeast of downtown Santa Ana.

The city's most famous institution is the Festival of the Arts, an annual art exhibition in the summer which has given the city a reputation for being "artsy."

Apart from bringing together artists and art collectors, the Festival is also famous for the Pageant of the Masters, an annual living statue show where local volunteers reproduce several dozen famous artworks in an evening (with the help of elaborate costumes and makeup). The Pageant is apparently the only show of its type and scale in western North America.

Because of occasional financial problems, the Festival has occasionally considered licensing the Pageant concept to other cities, but each time has ultimately refused. Licensing the Pageant would decrease the uniqueness of Laguna Beach and thus its attractiveness to tourists.

Another local tradition is a 13-year old musical parody called "Lagunatics". Created in 1992 and produced by the website nosquare.org, the show features local leaders from the mayor to the chief of police in songs and skits that make fun of the local lifestyle; some targets have included the MTV show; the supposedly rich, white, and pretentious residents; beach-closing sewage spills; re-foresting kelp; the Pageant of the Masters, the art festivals, parking (or the lack thereof) and fire-hazard eating goats. Money raised by the annual shows provide funds for a variety of local charites including the Laguna Playhouse, No Square Theatre, Ballet Pacifica, the Community Clinic, Senior Center Building Fund, and others.

Art & Culture in Laguna Beach, more of what makes Laguna so great......................

In 1960 the stretch of North Coast Highway was dubbed Gallery Row, today more than a dozen galleries display works of art for all tastes. The First Thursdays program (949) 497-0722 is an art walk sponsored by the city. Art lovers are shuttled around town to visit 35 different galleries and enjoy the artworks as well as wine and refreshments. The self-guided Heritage Walk and Tour of Laguna Beach is an excellent way to visit the numerous charming and unusual boutiques and galleries while glimpsing Laguna's historic past....
