Laguna Beach’s colorful 70-year-old Pageant of the Masters arts festival is leaving town. “The five-member Festival of Arts board voted unanimously Tuesday night to move the prestigious pageant and the festival art show to a $30 million complex in San Clemente after next year. Festival officials expect to clear $2 million annually – instead of the current $75,000 – to donate to the arts community.” – Orange County Register 08/16/00
