POM is one of the most breathtaking, magical annual outdoor Southern California summer traditions and if you have never see it, this years production is not to be missed and keep reading to find out why:
The Theme: “The Greatest of All Time” (G.O.A.T.)
Every year, the creative geniuses behind the Pageant pull off the impossible, but the 2026 theme — “The Greatest of All Time” — takes things to a whole new level.
Imagine a global journey celebrating the ultimate artistic icons and masterpieces that have defined history. We’re talking legendary works brought to life by visionaries like Michelangelo, Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Norman Rockwell. It tackles the ultimate question: Who truly deserves the title of G.O.A.T. in the art world? Watching history’s most celebrated creators get their well-deserved moment in the spotlight of the iconic Pageant is pure magic!
Wait, Art Comes to Life?
If you’ve never been (or even if you’re a seasoned regular), prepare to have your mind blown. This isn’t just an art exhibit — it’s a live-action theatrical wonder. Real people are meticulously made up, costumed, and posed inside giant, life-sized frames to recreate classic masterpieces right before your eyes. Combined with an incredible live orchestra, stage illusion, and captivating storytelling under the open-air Irvine Bowl amphitheater, it feels like you are stepping straight through the canvas into another dimension. It truly is unbelievable and something you have to see in person to truly appreciate the spectacle of it all!
The Ultimate Summer Date Night or Girls’ Night Out!
Friends, if you are trying to plan a show-stopping summer evening out with your sweetheart or your favorite girlfriends, look no further. This is the gold standard of summer nights.
The Style: It’s a fantastic excuse to wear that breezy summer maxi dress, grab your favorite statement sunnies or wedges, and make a whole evening out of it by exploring the Festival of Arts grounds before the show. Better yet, make a day of it by enjoying the cute town of Laguna Beach, scattered with art galleries, boutiques, cozy restaurants and browsing the artistic treasures at the Sawdust Festival.
The Vibe: Sitting under the starlit Laguna Canyon breeze, sipping a crisp glass of wine, and gasping in unison with the audience when the curtain drops on a new living picture? Unmatched elegance, truly.
