Tongan woodcarver Tonga Uaisele of Salt Lake City hammers away on his chisel at the Living Traditions Festival.

One cool thing about the Living Traditions Festival is that it appeals to all five senses.

The annual celebration of Utah residents' different ethnic heritages - which runs today through Sunday outside the City/County Building at 450 S. State St. - provides music to hear, dances to see and a variety of food to smell and taste.

In the craft booths, though, it's all in the touch. Watch these fast hands - photographed by me Friday morning, as the festival opened up a sneak preview for area schoolchildren - in the accompanying slide show. (Click on any thumbnail at left to start.)
