Festival of Arts Fine Art Show takes place on the grounds of the venue, just beyond a gated entry where tickets must be purchased for admission. The festival is one of three such festivals across the street and within walking distance of each other,  inviting the public to browse the galleries and purchase artwork from artists.

Festival of Arts is a juried fine art show featuring 140 of Southern Orange County's top artists in an open-air gallery setting. A world-renowned art destination, visitors can take tours of the exhibit, catch an art demonstration, dine at one of the on-site restaurants, create their own masterpiece, or simply sit back and enjoy the creative atmosphere. There are even daily art classes for kids!

The juried art show features  paintings, photography, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, handcrafted wood and furniture, ceramics, glass and more. Many exhibiting artists enjoy major sales to art collectors, interior designers, and first-time art buyers.

 Weekends are jam-packed with Concerts on the Green live music and special events Art, Jazz, Wine, and Chocolate, Festival Runway Fashion Show, art workshops and daily activities that the whole family can enjoy.

The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts - California's Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. Proceeds support the arts in Orange County.

The Pageant of the Masters is arguably one of the most unique productions in the entire world. Audiences are amazed and enchanted by ninety minutes of tableaux vivants ("living pictures"), incredibly faithful re-creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces.
