Judge’s Ruling Allows Arts Festival to Be Moved
- Share via
LAGUNA BEACH — Negotiations to move this city’s popular Festival of Arts to San Clemente do not violate the festival’s incorporation rules, a judge ruled Friday.
Six festival exhibitors had sought a preliminary injunction to halt negotiations between officials of the festival and San Clemente. They cited the festival’s articles of incorporation, which state that the annual event has to be “in or about the city of Laguna Beach.”
Superior Court Judge Robert D. Monarch ruled that “community” has a much broader meaning now than when the festival was founded in the 1930s.
“The community concept has evolved substantially into the new millennium,” Monarch said.
