Today is the final Art, Jazz, Wine & Chocolate show at Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, California. It’s also the conclusion of jazz performances at the 80-plus-year-old festival in Laguna Beach, California, which also features the spectacular Pageant of the Masters. However, a variety of music will accompany the more than 140 art exhibits daily until this year’s conclusion on Wednesday, Aug. 31.
