Orange County's Summer Of Fun 2021: Mission Viejo

MISSION VIEJO, CA — It's time to prepare for a summer of fun in Mission Viejo and across Orange County.

In June, Laguna Beach sees the continuation of the Promenade at Forest Avenue for dining and outdoor music. There also will be a resurgence of the First Thursday Art Walk.

Starting in July, fans will stay focused on art in Laguna Beach.

Between Sawdust Art Festival, Laguna Art-A-Fair, the Pageant of the Masters, the Festival of Arts were shuttered in 2020 due to the pandemic and are anxiously awaited by art lovers across the Southland.

The Festival of Arts Fine Art Show will open on July 5th and welcome patrons daily through September 3rd.

The Pageant of the Masters: Made in America: Trailblazing Artists and Their Stories will run July 7 – September 3, 2021 with tickets on sale beginning May 3.

The Festival of Arts Fine Arts Show is a nationally and critically acclaimed event, and one of the finest outdoor art venues held in the summer months, officials say.

The much anticipated Festival of Arts summer schedule is completed with the addition of the world-famous Pageant of the Masters' one-of-a-kind tableaux vivants or "living pictures."
