70 Degrees invites you to join us for the 59th Annual Sawdust Art Festival, Laguna Beach’s most iconic summer tradition! Established in 1967, this event transcends time and is an incredible experience.

It will run from June 27 through August 31, 2025, transforming the Laguna Canyon under eucalyptus trees into an outdoor village showcasing over 180 local artists.

Be a part of the tradition. Watch in-person glass blowing demonstrations and en plein air artists at work. You can meet and greet artists from a wide variety of mediums. Purchase unique, one-of-a-kind gifts with a Laguna Beach story.


🌟 The festival is deeply rooted in the Laguna Beach arts community—it’s non‑juried, open only to Laguna artist‑residents, and draws roughly 200,000 visitors per season. Don’t miss the Gallery where history comes to life from the archive! We are honored to help curate this history. Enjoy this Sawdust Art Festival timeline created by 70 Degrees.
