Laguna Passport to the Arts

Le Rêve would like to join the City of Laguna Beach in introducing to you one of the most exciting opportunities of the summer in Southern California. The three world-renowned outdoor summer art festivals of Laguna Beach - The Festival of Arts, Sawdust Art Festival and Art-A-Fair -- have joined forces with the Laguna Beach Visitors & Conference Bureau to create the Passport to the Arts for the 2009 season. This is truly a special offer, as for only $19, the 'Passport' allows visitors unlimited admission to all three festivals for the entire summer season. Over 500 amazing and unique artists and 300 hands-on workshops, dozens of special events, and an array of restaurants provide fun for the whole family; plus one time all-day free parking with each ticket. Additionally, selected retailers and merchants throughout Laguna Beach are offering special discounts to Passport holders.

The Festival of Arts was introduced in 1932 and is one of the nation's most highly acclaimed and attended fine art shows. With nightly musical entertainment, hands-on demonstrations, and a myriad of special events running from July 5 - August 31, the Festival of Arts is a "must-see" this summer!

The Sawdust Art Festival occurs June 26 to August 30 and showcases art created only in Laguna Beach. It was named one of the country's top five festivals by American Style Magazine. Located in a beautiful eucalyptus grove, visitors experience the creativity of over 200 local artisans while enjoying the entertainment, artist demos, and hands-on art workshops for adults and children

The Art-A-Fair also runs from June 26 to August 30 this year and features 125 artists from all over the world. Every art form will be represented from oil paintings and acrylics, to photography and jewelry. The Art-A-Fair will also present "Opera and Musical Night" which has received standing ovations since three years ago when it was founded.
