First up, if you’ve been craving a bit of sparkle and culture, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel is lighting up Dana Point with a special Diwali festival celebration this weekend. The colorful Indian Festival of Lights brings vibrant décor, live music, and traditional dance performances right to the coast. It’s happening Saturday evening on the resort grounds, and while some activities are ticketed, there are plenty of free spots to soak up the atmosphere. It promises to be… [excitedly] an unforgettable experience filled with light, music, and community spirit.
Next on the agenda, for all the reality TV fans and local pop culture buffs, the original cast of *Laguna Beach* is reuniting for a 20th anniversary special streaming on the Roku Channel.
