Laguna Beach Weekend Events

Hello all. The management would like to apologize for the delayed publication of this weekly update. There was a miscommunication that occured last weekend that turned into a disagreement between the writers and the editors. The editors were upset that the writers put the incorrect information about the ending of our cherished summer events, such as the Pageant of the Masters, the Festival of Arts and the SawDust Festival. They all ended prior to this weekend and the writers didn't make it sound that way. In the end, all of the writers were fired and then executed for treason!!! (They tried to take out and kill the editors!) Well, now with the new staff in place, we will continue.

Friday:

1. September Sunset Serenades-Matt Otto Trio, a Jazz group will perform at 6pm. The series will continue throughout the month at the Picnic Beach area of Heisler Park.

3. Adopt Your Street/Beach Pick-up-This is the 1st Saturday of the month ritual held by Zero Trash Laguna from 8am to whenever at various streets and beaches in Laguna.
