Laguna Beach Festival of Arts
Festival St tore
Plenty of people attend Laguna Beach Festival of Arts just to admire the works of art. However, for serious art buyers, attending early in the season means a lot, since excellent pieces often sell early. Weekdays are less busy but there are fewer artists present. They often meet crowds in the evening that show up for the Pageant (盛会)of the Masters. Some artists may negotiate prices at the end of the season. If you just want souvenirs of your visit, a variety of products are available in the Festival Store.
Fun Activities
Part of the fun of the festival comes from the activities that go on during the event. Tours and art workshops are available every day. Weekends are full of live music and special events. To get best value for the money you spend during the week, Thursday is the day to go for art talks by participating artists and evening jazz.
Food &x Drinks
Food and drinks are sold at the snack bar. Tivoli Terrace cafe and restaurants are on site for more formal dining. Picnics are welcome during art talks or music shows, and there are tables set up in the courtyard for you to enjoy your homemade or take-away food. But alcohol is forbidden here. On Thursdays, central tables are reserved for ticket holders.
Cost of the Tickets
Entrance admission: $60 per person (the Pageant of the Masters and live music shows included)
Joint pass: $120 per person (free of charge for all the performances)
Notes: Since there are many visitors on the weekends, the ticket office may be crowded. For faster service, call toll-free number 24 hours a day.
