Event Sells Out, Book Early!

For tiki fans and collectors this is the ultimate California tiki festival not to be missed. San Diego offers some great locations inspired by the islands, including the Bali Hai on Shelter Island where the party begins on Thursday evening. The rest of the festival takes place at the Crowne Plaza hotel so guests can book a room and not have to drive. That way you can catch the action which is non-stop.

Among the highlights of this event are the car show, vendor Tiki Marketplace for great shopping, seminars including the famous Charles Phoenix with his retro slide show and comedy, make-up artist on site to get men, ladies, girls and boys into their parts with hairstyles and makeup, and adult Burlesque Shows.
