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

ABOUT TIKI OASIS
Southern California’s family-run Tiki Oasis was conceived in 2001 as a fundraiser to support the Palm Springs Caliente Tropics Motel’s rehabilitation. The Tropics was 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. 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.
