Sawdust Festival

I love love summer! I think you all can tell by my recent postings, that our family really comes alive when the weather gets warmer. There are so many fun activities, places to visit and so many adventures in the summertime.

One of my favorite places in Orange County, if not the world, is Laguna Beach. When we head to the beach as a family it is usually to Aliso Creek Beach or to get a bite to eat on a summer day, Laguna Beach, is usually our destination. Laguna Beach is home to many art festivals in the summer, including Pageant of the Masters, Art-a- Fair and my absolute favorite, the Sawdust Festival.

The Sawdust Festival features over 200 Laguna Beach artists. There are demonstrations, entertainment, food, and many fun classes. We can’t wait to explore this year’s festival.

Tickets are very reasonable. $7.75 for adults, Children 6-12 are $3.25 and under 6 are free. You can also buy a season pass for $15. The festival starts today and ends August 29th. Hours are 10am to 10pm.

Summer is here and that means the art festivals will soon be starting in Laguna Beach. My favorite festival hands down is the Sawdust Art Festival. The mission of the festival is to” educate the public about the art created in Laguna Beach,” the Sawdust Art Festival provides a variety of art and craft projects for all ages at their Children’s Art Spot, Ceramics Booth, Sawdust Studio, and their world-class Glass Blowing Booth. They will also hold Summer Evening Art classes at 7 p.m. Sunday-Thursdays.

You can meet the artists that will be featured at the festival when you take the
Meet the Artists Tour on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. or take a Weekend Walkabout Tour of the Sawdust grounds to learn interesting tidbits on Saturdays and Sundays at 12 noon. Tours are complimentary with admission.

I know quite a few of you enjoyed the Creatively Fun Day back in April and I promise that the summer festival is just as good. Once you visit for the day you will want to go back for the rest of the summer!!
