Hale'iwa isn't just about shave ice and the surf. This weekend it's all about the arts, as the annual celebration of all things artsy takes over the town and the park.

The Hale'iwa Arts Festival, now in its ninth year, also offers free 50-minute trolley tours of historic spots; entertainment including Celtic Pipes and Drums (10 a.m. today),the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Big Band (4 p.m. today) and the jazz of The River Street Collective (4 p.m. tomorrow); hands-on activities for keiki (face painting, an interactive mural, toys); food and drinks.

Oh, and about the arts. Think jewelry, ceramics, clothing/fibre, photography, sculpture, mosaic, glassworks, woodwork, metal sculpture, digital art, paintings in oil, watercolor and acrylics and the ever-surprising mixed media.

This year's festival poster and T-shirt images were donated by Peggy Chun, a longtime artist who has Lou Gehrig's disease. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the posters and T-shirts will go to Chun's medical expenses; the rest will go to the festival's grants program for schools.
