With the state easing Orange County’s COVID-19 restrictions, the city of Laguna Beach has begun planning for the opening of its 2021 Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters.

Last year, the fine arts show was canceled due to the pandemic in a move that had a profound impact on both the organization and juried exhibitors, many of whose livelihood was dependent on the success of the popular annual event.
