Festivals of any kind are a dime a dozen in this town, but only one is set against the 7-mile miracle, which makes the Haleiwa Arts Festival’s summer bash our pick for best fest. (Never mind that we would be stoked on a domino tournament if it were held on the North Shore.)
The Haleiwa Arts Festival’s ninth annual Summer ArtFest is a mash up of creative energy that includes more than 127 juried visual artists with original works and limited editions, in oil, acrylic, ceramic, photography, sculpture, watercolor, fabric, serigraphy, jewelry and glass and will also include performance art, storytelling, cultural history tours, art demonstrations and displays and plenty of hands-on activities for the keiki.
The event is packed with every kind of eye candy as well as food and drink booths and the fest’s ‘Cool Stuff to Buy’ booth, which offers limited edition poster prints and T-shirts of well-known local artists.
The entire town promises to join the festivities with local art galleries and businesses offering special promotions for the two-day event.
Bonus: It’s summer–you can swim at Sunset Beach.
Hale’iwa Town, Sat. 7/22, 10am-6pm, Sun 7/23, 10am-5pm, free, [www.haleiwaartsfestival.org]
