Laguna Beach’s Festival of the Arts and Sawdust Art Festival are back, drawing large crowds along Laguna Canyon Road and the main beach this summer.
The 56th annual Sawdust Art Festival, open daily until Aug. 28, features work from 162 of the city’s own artists.
Artists have their own vending booths where visitors can purchase from their gallery and watch them create their work. These range from up-and-coming young talent to long-time respected local artists.
Bands perform live music from three stages around the venue.
Complimentary art classes are available as well as live glassblowing demonstrations.
Outdoor dining options are available onsite with six concession stands and the Sawdust Saloon serving a wide variety of specialty wine and beer….
