Once again walking through the Sawdust Festival sawdust makes me grateful that I survived another year... in order to return. Every year the various artists present new fresh items. The prices are very reasonable - if something costs too much then you really don't need it. Wonderful ambience, plenty of food and refreshments, and live music. Restrooms are always within a baseball throw. City trams are frequent with pick up/drop off at the entrance. Cost of the trams is Free-90-Free. Additionally, your ticket purchase is valid for reentry the entire summer. Compare spending an afternoon here versus Disneyland.

I haven't been here in a few decades and decided it was time to go with my wife who has never been. We had a bite to eat at the food area while listening to a very good band. Let me just say if your looking for something cheap...it's not here. These vendors are very talented in what they do and they charge accordingly. As far as I'm concerned you are buying art maybe even one of a kind masterpieces. You really have to go here and check it out to see what's available... you might just find the perfect thing you can't live without.

I’m sure there are plenty of reviews for Sawdust festival in Laguna during the summer. Which is great. I love to stroll during the summer, but this review will focus on the special Winter/Christmas Edition of the Sawdust Art Festival . If you’re looking to support Small Business this Holiday Season, Art Festival is a Colletive of Local Artisans who hand make and sell all of their creations. You’ll find plenty of great hand made, made locally, made in California, made in America Christmas gifts here. #SupportSmallBusiness

how long dose it take to see the festival all of Hours and hours??

maya ranselaar | Jul 23, 2022
Jason Roberts | Jul 23, 2022

You should give yourself at least a few hours to cruise through and you will still not really "see" all of it. They have quite a few interactive activities and live music along with a good variety of food and beverage throughout the day. Planning around an arts or crafts activity with one of the artists is my suggestion to friends wanting to visit. If you visit the Sawdust website they have a calendar of what activities are happening and when.

When can Laguna residents get free entrance ?

David Kutscher | Aug 22, 2021
James F. Haas | Aug 22, 2021

I'm pretty sure there are no free days for locals at least this season. However, I would strongly recommend their passport which gets you into all three of the art festivals for the entire season! I've already used it a few times, as there is so many artists to chat with and before or five bandstands constantly have different acts. Another words, with the passport you can easily spend the whole day there just enjoying everything for free! And it's well worth it. However I've already bought a few are pieces and had a couple of meals so I guess I'm helping out a little bit.

Is the festival wheelchair friendly?

Devra Macko | Aug 22, 2020
Salty Sauce | Aug 22, 2020

Yes and no. There are drop off points and plenty of area for wheelchairs. The crowd might be a different story though because there is a lot of foot traffic and maneuvering through that with the entire area covered in wood chips may be difficult. Overall, I wouldn't recommend wheelchairs but they are there for those bold enough to try

where is parking for the sawdust festival

Sheri Peters | Aug 23, 2018
Susan S. McClellan | Aug 23, 2018

There is street parking at metered spaces, there are public lots throughout Laguna, three of which are close to the festival, there are also private parking lots. You'll probably pay 10 to $15 search for the public lots. The private lots may cost more. I think the meters are 250 per hour but they may be more. If you get a passport for the three festivals for the whole festival season that comes with the free parking ticket for the act 5 parking lot on Laguna Canyon Road.
