If you or anyone you know is going to be in Hawaii this weekend, there is a killer festival going on at The Ritz Carlton in Kapalua (maui).

It's the 17th Annual Celebration of the Arts, and it's going on from April 10 through April 12. This year's celebration is based on the saying "Lucky we Live Hawaii." Kama'aina (local residents) and malihini (visitors) alike are invited to The Ritz-Carlton to watch exciting performances and presentations, participate in discussions and crafts, and learn about the culture and history of Hawaii.

This award winning festival (Kahili Award from the Hawaii Tourism Authority in 2005), will feature entertainment by Hawaii's 2008 "Female Vocalist of the Year" Napua Greig, and a killer lu'au on April 11th with all the hula and traditional, exotic food one should expect from a AAA Five Diamond Ritz-Carlton!

There will also be an Easter Brunch and non-denominational beachside Easter service and egg hunt on Sunday, so don't worry that all that hula will get in the way of your prayin'.
