The Sordast Art Festival was founded in Lagona Beach, California, for the first time. It was called by a group of local artists. The Sordast Art Festival was particularly chosen by the festival of the arts, and was chosen as a reaction to the fact that it was possible to create its own place, the experimental and self-taught artist Willkommen. They found a eukalyptus hymn at the Laguna Canyon Road and built a temporary village with artist'stands. To reduce the dust on the field roads, they covered the ground with sea flour. Therefore, the festival also has its name. In the first years it was informal and unconventional, but the festival became popular. It developed in the seventies for the established s Today, the Sordast Festival is open to over 185 artists, who either live in the area of Lagona Beach or have a close connection to it. Without jury, artists are not evaluated or selected, so the inclusive roots are preserved. The site is rebuilt every year for the reason. Wood and natural materials are used to maintain the rustic atmosphere, which was originally drawn from the beginning. The festival is not a pure market, but a living part of the artistic identity of Laguna Beach. They created art for artists and for the community, which supports them.
