The Ramona Outdoor Play, formerly known as (and still commonly called) The Ramona Pageant is an outdoor play staged annually at Hemet, California since 1923. The script is adapted from the novel Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson. It is held over three consecutive weekends in April and May in the Ramona Bowl, a natural amphitheater in the foothills above Hemet in Riverside County. The pageant features a four hundred member cast, made up largely of area residents, and is described as the largest and longest-running outdoor play in the United States.

The Ramona Pageant is the official outdoor play of the State of California. [1]
