Artists and art lovers alike enjoy the Sawdust Art Festival held annually in Laguna Beach. The festival is open daily now through August 29th daily from 10am to 10pm.
Live entertainment on three stages, outdoor restaurants, interactive art classes, the famous glass-blowing booth, and of course a wide variety of art media - paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, mixed media are all represented in the art festival.
Our favorite day is Wednesday when from 5pm-8pm the Sawdust Saloon becomes a yummy wine tasting venue where you can sample a variety wines from California's wineries. Order an Orange County limo or Orange county car service so you don't worry about drinking and driving after sampling too many wine varieties.
Parking can be difficult in Laguna Beach normally - but with the extra crowds attending the festival we think it is best to order an Orange County car service for easy drop off and pick up close the the action - along with the extra fun of not worrying about a DUI.
A Summer Season pass is $15 or you can pay for individual days at $7.75 for adults and $6.25 for children. Don't forget to order your Laguna beach limo for the most fun at the Sawdust Festival!

Some people just never learn - even when they smack into a patrol car parked at a red light! In Laguna Hills last night at 1:58 am a driver was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence after, officials said, he rear-ended a deputy's car that was stopped at a red light.
No one was injured in the crash, but the Laguna Niguel man was asked to take a field-sobriety test after the crash and failed, said Lt. Jim England of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
The suspect, a Mr. Banir Ganatra, 32, has had multiple charges of DUI and other driving issues. Ganatra was driving a 2008 Mercedes-Benz.
I gotta ask - if he has enough money to drive a 2008 Mercedes-Benz (in my opinion a nice car) - why doesn't this repeat offender have enough money to pay for a taxi or chauffeured transportation in Orange County?
Before you get behind the wheel if you've been drinking ask yourself if the risks are worth the punishment. I've heard reported that a DUI in Orange County costs in the neighborhood of $10,000! An Orange County Limo would be around $400 (depending on hours an distance)!

My friends were in Los Angeles for the USC game Labor Day weekend. They had a blast at the game and then headed to the Supergirl Jam Snowboard event where they had actual snow and a 35 foot rail on Venice Beach and ladies competed for over $36,000 in prizes.
My friends drank a lot while spending the day watching the awesome activities. And then they decided to grab a bottle of liquour and pound shots before they headed down to meet us in San Clemente - a good 1 hour 20 minute drive from Venice Beach. We don't drink and they didn't want the buzz to end. We were going to Fisherman's Wharf on the Pier so they could have grabbed more cocktails at Fisherman's and we could of drove them. But since they had too many drinks I guess they weren't thinking straight.
So they drove down the busy freeway - Phoenix visitors - drunk. This would be the 3rd DUI for one of these friends. I guess he isn't learning. At all. I just read this post in the OC Register about how a 38 year old woman was thrown from the car at 8:45 pm last night on the south coast Highway and is in critical condition. The male driver is arrested for DUI. It reminded me of my friends. I guess it is going to take killing or seriously hurting somebody for this friend to figure it out that drinking and driving is wrong.
We had a sit down with him that night. Told him he just isn't getting it. That we would have driven up to Venice Beach to get their car and drive them safely down to stay with us in San Clemente. We own a limo company - good friends of his - we take it seriously having a safe ride. This friend has a 6 year old beautiful daughter. I hope he lives to see her 7th birthday.
