Sawdust Art & Craft Festival Winter Fantasy

Winter Fantasy is a one-of-a-kind holiday art festival that offers a festive shopping experience. Visitors are invited to peruse unique, handcrafted gifts of art from 150 local and international artists and makers. Open every Saturday and Sunday until December 19 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., including Black Friday. 

Opening Day began with the annual tree-lighting ceremony and a musical performance by the Top of the World Elementary Honor Choir, followed by an observance honoring 15 community trees, decorated by local non-profits. Laguna Beach residents receive free admission after 3 p.m. with a valid ID. 

Winter Fantasy delivers a robust schedule of entertainment every day of the show. Three stages showcase live music and entertainment featuring local musicians and community performances, daily photo ops with Santa, marionette puppet shows, glassblowing and other art demonstrations. A petting zoo, balloon artistry, magic acts and much more will keep the kids engaged all day. 

Three demo booths offer hands-on festival art classes each day. Studio One and the Children’s Art Spot features painting, mixed media, and crafts for all ages, while the Ceramic Center provides a complimentary ceramic hand-building experience. 

Winter Fantasy boasts six outdoor food concessions serving up a variety of Mediterranean, Mexican, American/Deli, vegan and vegetarian fare. A coffee shop and saloon provide a satisfying array of hot and cold beverages. 

Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors (65+), $5 for children (6–12) and $20 for a Season Pass. Veterans and children, ages 5 and under, enter free of charge. 

Advance tickets may be purchased online at SawdustArtFestival.org or in-person at the Box Office.
