The Festival of Arts is turning ninety! To celebrate 90 years of art, the Festival of Arts is hosting a 90th Birthday Bash celebration in partnership with the City of Laguna Beach on Saturday, August 13, 2022. This exciting day will include birthday-themed art projects, photo booths, live music with Grammy-nominated musician and Bass Player Hall of Famer Lee Rocker, giveaways, surprises and much more. Making this special occasion even more of a celebration, the Birthday Bash is open to the public and admission is FREE to the Fine Art Show all day long!

Starting at 12noon, the Birthday Bash will feature a presentation of proclamations, awards to two artists who have exhibited at the Fine Art Show for 50 years, and welcoming remarks with Festival of Arts President David Perry and Laguna Beach Mayor Sue Kempf.

A live concert with Lee Rocker will start at 1pm, following the opening ceremony. Lee Rocker made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning and rocking his giant upright bass as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated music group, the Stray Cats. The Stray Cats sold over 10 million albums, garnered 23 gold and platinum certified records, and were among the early music-video pioneers of MTV.

From 12noon to 3pm, make your own festive party hat in the Festival’s Art Center and take your picture in the photo booth. After the concert at 3pm, join the Festival family in wishing the Festival of Arts a happy birthday with a special cupcake reception. Activities and giveaways while supplies last.
