Cannon Beach is an amazing little town with lots of unique features that make it a one-of-a-kind stop along the Oregon Coast. I recommend the Cannon Beach Spa, Ecola State Park and of course, Haystack Rock. Stop to see the bunnies on the North end of town while you are here. Please also consider listing Seaside, OR. Again another unique coastal town that is super family friendly with lots of fun activities.

Laguna Beach > Pageant of the Masters
Pageant of the Masters is a 90 minutes show of displaying classical and contemporary paintings and sculptures with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. Pageant of the Masters takes place at an outdoor amphitheater with professional orchestra, original score, live narration and intricate sets. Each year the event will introduce different theme for the "living artworks" to be presented.
History
The "living artworks" idea came from artist and vaudevillian Lolita Perine who in the early 1930's dressed local residents in costume and seated them behind a makeshift frame to make a Living Pictures show. Living Pictures show became a hit and later in 1935 Roy Ropp developed the performance into its present-day format and then a year after the performance was renamed Pageant of the Masters
