Pageant of the Masters

In south Orange County, there are few traditions as long running (and spectacularly surreal) as the Pageant of the Masters, a two-month-long display where actors pose as well-known works of art.

I saw this back in 1990, and the narrator was none other than the original voice of 'Tony the Tiger', Thurl Ravenscroft 🐯. Hearing his voice behind this epic show added to the wonder of it all. Still remember it vividly to this day!

Lived here in OC and have never seen the Pageant. Avoided the congestion of people at all cost. Had family visit from out of State and while looking for something ‘different’ to do... well this is Different!!! AMAZING, FABULOUS, jAW DROPPING! So great that my sister and I are going back again this year and bringing someone who has never had the opportunity to see something this unique:) share the Joy of Living Art, bring a friend!!!

Again, this year will be spent at Pageant - celebrating my 78th birthday! Love being here and hope all will attend ASAP.

It is one of those things that can not be done justice by a video or a photograph - it needs to be seen to be believed - really quite special and magical - take along a good pair of binoculars and try to spot any movement

I saw the pageant over 35 years ago and was truly amazed by it.

Combining Living History and amazing Living Art! Wish I was in CA to enjoy this beautiful, interesting Pageant of Masters!  An awesome video that allows a small window into their fascinating story and display!

The old announcer and the crickets in an outdoor theatre just makes you feel like youre in art history museum world, when youre there live you feel like youre on an episode of Caliornias Good

Heard about this for the first time from Episode 333 of The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe podcast 💗 sounds amazing! Had never heard of this before - would love to see it in person one day

I have never been so underwhelmed at a live show of any sort.

[nephildevil]

They take a painting and turn it into a live action show, nice.

Don't take young children, they'll be bored and won't appreciate it.
