July 8 - August 31
Each night during the summer season at 8:30 the Festival of Arts
presents its most famous attraction, the Pageant of the Masters. What
is it?
Ninety minutes of "living pictures" - incredibly faithful art
re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people
posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces.
An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live
narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff, and
hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant
as the best presentation of its kind.
