DAY two of Arts Ablaze attracted visitors from near and far to browse the artworks on display, take part in a variety of workshops or sit back and listen to live music.
The artisans markets proved popular with visitors as did the food trucks selling everything from strawberries and ice cream to spit roasted pork.
In the Kidzone children took part in the Junk Orchestra, story time with Mother Nature (Terrina Smith), tried their hand at whittling, creating basketry animals or "crazy birds".
Punters also took the opportunity to contribute to a work of art by adding their creativity to a rainbow snake wall painting.
Fans who bemoaned the demise of Arts in the Olives, once held in the Lost Valley, were able to enjoy most of the delights remembered from the popular Mothers Day event.
As the heat of the day reached its peak, inching well past the 30 degree mark, punters took refuge under the several marquis around the golf course where entertainment was laid on including performances by musicians Indy Clark, The Dennis Sisters and the Help is on its Way performance by local choirs.
There was also a Children's Theatre performance of Charlotte's Web.
As the sun goes down, the precinct will come alive with more musical offerings including Mununjali Dreaming, The Ironing Maidens and a fusion performance by artists including Tenzin Choegal, Andrew Vievers, Kacey Patrick, Rafael Karlen, Jarred Fogarty, Rebecca Karlen and John Reeves.
The resort grounds will light up with the projection art of Craig Walsh in the trees and projected onto the wall of the resort, including a looped video featuring Kooralbyn residents describing their feelings on Home.
The festival will conclude tomorrow afternoon.
