By on May 14, 2021 in AZ TIki Oasis, Tiki Oasis

From the organizers of Arizona Tiki Oasis 2021, recapping the event!

We did it! We are calling Arizona Tiki Oasis 2021 a wonderful success! The event went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone followed all safety precautions and made our job easy breezy. The Tiki community really rallied and supported us when we all needed it the most. Now that we see California opening up and we know we can host something that brings people so much joy we are more excited than ever to be planning for our San Diego event this summer.

Check out some of our fun photos from the event!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Arizona Tiki Oasis Attendees,

It took a village to restart Arizona Tiki Oasis and two years later we want to thank some of the people that encouraged us and helped us to get energized and inspired to relaunch the event. We couldn’t have done it without the support of the participants: staff, artists, disc jockeys, seminar educators, sponsors, marketplace crafters, artists and traders, mixologists volunteers, and of course the super supportive Hotel Valley Ho staff. Cheers to our featured local artist, Jon Arvizu, and longtime friend and collaborator world-renown artist SHAG. Special thanks to Janek at Bauer Pottery, Tiki AZ moderators Ross, Leigh, and James; Cobain for Decor; Dana from Hula’s Modern and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. We especially want to thank the Arizona Preservation Foundation for their ongoing support and shared values of Architectural Preservation. Lastly, we give gratitude to our sons Vander and Dashiell for inspiring us to keep creating and producing events.

XOXO
Baby Doe & Otto
Arizona Tiki Oasis Producers

The event was moved to San Diego in 2006 to support the historic Bali Hai Restaurant and Hanalei Hotel.

Oct 15-18: Joshua Tree Music Festival – From the Desert with Love

By on October 12, 2020 in Uncategorized
Joshua Tree Music Festival’s October Streaming Event –
JTMF Presents: From The Desert With Love.
When: Oct 15-18, 2020 
Where: Online, everywhere! 

Lineup: Thumpasaurus, Balkan Bump, Afrolicious, Jesika von Rabbit, Vir McCoy Allstars, Year of the Crow, Heather Christie and Vir McCoy, Subko.

Website: https://joshuatreemusicfestival.com/jtmf-presents-oct/ 
Tickets: https://aftontickets.com/event/buybroadcastticket/237 

Joshua Tree Music Festival announces an October streaming event – Joshua Tree Music Festival Presents: From the Desert With Love. The event will include a series of music sets filmed on location at the Joshua Tree Music Festival site the week before. We opted to pre-record the sets to ensure the best quality video and audio for people’s living room dance parties says festival founder Barnett English. The event will also include a daily mindfulness class live-streamed from the festival site and a secret menu of ‘silly shenanigans’ that guests will have to keep their eye out for. We hope to unite people, support the artists and crew, and promote the community vibes that the festival is so known for during a time when it is so needed, continues English.
 
In true JTMF style, the event will kick off with a Thursday evening dance party on October 15, with a live-streamed DJ set with Subko. The Thursday kick-off party will be free to the public. Tickets to the main streaming event October 16-18 start at $10 for stream access with tiers up to $60 that include bonus perks and exclusive merch.
 
We hope ‘JTMF Presents: From The Desert With Love’ is the first in a series of streaming events that we’re able to bring to our community. This event will be extra special as it is all filmed or streamed from the Joshua Tree Music Festival site. If we can’t bring people to the festival, we’re going to do our best to bring the festival to our people! Says Marketing and Communications Director Cassie Morrow.  
 
For event updates, RSVP on Facebook, or visit www.joshuatreemusicfestival.com.
 
What else has the Joshua Tree Music Festival team been up to during this time? We’re glad you asked!
 
With in-person events still on hold, the Joshua Tree Music Festival team has taken this time to work on side projects CasaGogo and Harmonize Printing.
 
About CasaGogo: 2020 has been filled with uncertainty. But if there’s one thing we are certain of, it’s that getting outdoors and spending time with your loved ones stargazing, outside in wide-open spaces, soaking in the desert energy, is medicine for the soul. We lucky folks that live in the desert get to benefit from this on a daily basis but there are many who do not, so we hope to provide this opportunity for people to get some ‘soul medicine’ in a safe and responsible way. For more go to casagogo.com.
 
About Harmonize Printing: Harmonize printing is a direct-to-garment t-shirt printing business where people can purchase Joshua Tree Music Festival merchandise as well as designs by musicians, local artists, and local businesses who all need community support right now. All garments are printed to order, with love, right here in Joshua Tree. For more go to harmonizeprinting.com.

MORE ABOUT TIKI OASIS

Tiki Oasis celebrates its 20th event in 2020! Southern California’s family-run Tiki Oasis was conceived in 2001 as a fundraiser to support the rehabilitation of the Palm Springs Caliente Tropics Motel, the most elaborate of a chain of five California Tropics Tiki motels and an important part of Tiki history. The event was moved to San Diego in 2006 to support the historic Bali Hai Restaurant and Hanalei Hotel. Now Tiki Oasis is proud to be the original and largest Tiki event in the world and features five nights and four days of live music, dance, DJs, vendors, fashion show, poolside entertainment, car show, kids activities, art exhibit, plus top experts giving educational presentations all taking place on a private 44-acre island, Paradise Point. Its sister event, Arizona Tiki Oasis made its successful debut in 2019 and brings the island lifestyle to the desert in full Mid-Century glory.
