Painting feathers was fun for sisters Katy, 10, left, and Penny Gibbons, 7, and their cousin Andi McCollough, 5.

ArtBeat's 23rd on Saturday's proved it's still a much loved community day.
Cafler Park was again the venue for Whangārei's free, family-friendly interactive creative event. Features included the kids' interactive area with the popular face-painting station and a Youth Zone with a number of e-game and digital stalls. A food
market, art and crafts stalls, buskers and Pacifika Fusion Festival added to the fun. Tania Whyte was there with her camera.
