It was a festive weekend in Burien and Des Moines.

The four-day Octoberfest in Burien included a full carnival, rhythm and blues performances, a walk to aid the women's homeless shelter at Lake Burien Presbyterian Church, a beer and wine garden and vendors.

On Saturday, the Des Moines Arts Commission hosted the inaugural Poverty Bay Arts Festival. Downtown businesses presented artists who showed and sold their works.

Seattle artist Chandelle Anderson's mural, "Celebrating Life in Des Moines" was dedicated Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, over at Des Moines Beach Park, the Rotary Club of Des Moines and Powell Renovations sponsored the Poverty Bay Blues and Brews Festival.

The festival featured 15 craft breweries and five musical groups.
