Sawdust Winter Fantasy
Laguna Beach, CA
$5.50–$12.50 single day; $35.50 winter pass (2026 official)
By Simir Shah
This holiday version of the Sawdust Art Festival fills the eucalyptus-shaded grounds at 935 Laguna Canyon Road with artist booths, live demos, classes, music on three stages and a snack shack with popcorn and ice cream. 2026 dates are Nov. 20–Dec. 20, on five three-day weekends, Fri–Sun 11 a.m.–7 p.m., rain or shine. The sawdust paths are hard going for strollers, so the festival suggests a baby carrier; parking at Lot 16 (1900 Laguna Canyon Rd.) is $5, with a free trolley from there.
