Laguna Beach Art Walk - Sunset Sips + Art + Live Music

## 🎨 Laguna Beach First Thursdays Art Walk

### 🍷 Sunset Sips + 🎶 Live Music + 🖼️ Gallery Stroll

Laguna Beach comes alive on the first Thursday of every month — and we’re making a full evening of it.
Join us for a social, high-vibe night featuring sunset wine, live music, and a lively stroll through one of the most iconic art communities in California.

### 🌅 5:00–6:15 PM — Sunset Mixer at Hotel Laguna

We’ll kick off the evening on the Rose Garden patio at Hotel Laguna. Enjoy the coastal sunset, mingle with fellow members, and grab a drink from the bar (beer and wine available for purchase).
This relaxed social hour is the perfect way to connect before we head out for live music and the Art Walk.
Enjoy:

• Featured local artists
• A relaxed coastal atmosphere
• Occasional live music

Arrive anytime after 5 PM to mingle and meet fellow members. This is our official early meetup spot and the perfect way to ease into the evening.
(Dress comfortably — it’s outdoors.)

### 🎶 6:20–6:50 PM — Live Music Stop at The Cliff Restaurant

Just a short 3-minute walk away, The Cliff hosts a fun live band, Perfect Blend, from 6–9 PM.
We’ll make a featured stop to:

• Catch the band
• Enjoy the energy
• Maybe even dance a little

This is our upbeat transition before diving into the Art Walk.

### 🎨 7:00 PM — First Thursdays Art Walk Begins

At 7 PM, we officially begin the gallery stroll for the Laguna Beach First Thursdays Art Walk.
Over 40 galleries open their doors with:

• Spectacular artwork
• Complimentary wine and small bites at many locations
• Live music in select spaces
• An incredible social atmosphere

We’ll explore galleries on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway and throughout downtown. A suggested walking flow will be provided, but you’re always free to explore at your own pace.
Expect light walking (about 2–3 miles over 2 hours), lots of conversation, and plenty of culture.
