ABOUT ARIZONA TIKI OASIS:
AZTO is the second event launched by the team of Otto and Baby Doe building on their original event Tiki Oasis. Launched in 2019, Arizona Tiki Oasis is now in its seventh year.
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 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 held at Town and Country Resort and 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, poolside entertainment, kids activities, an art exhibit, plus top experts giving educational seminars.

THE CORE VALUES OF TIKI OASIS:
Tiki Oasis is a family-run small business. Our core values are a reflection of who we are. Arizona Tiki Oasis promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion; we empower marginalized groups through dialogue and action. Arizona Tiki Oasis promotes education and the sharing of ideas and knowledge; we believe in the historic preservation of American Pop Culture through the lens of modern-day values. Arizona Tiki Oasis promotes sustainable practices with a deep commitment to conservation and positive choices that support the health of our planet.

ARIZONA TIKI OASIS BENEFITS THE ARIZONA PRESERVATION FOUNDATION
Since 1979, the Arizona Preservation Foundation has worked with local, state, and national partners to promote and protect Arizona’s historic resources.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Arizona Tiki Oasis acknowledges the twenty-two Native Nations who have inhabited this land for centuries. Hotel Valley Ho, Scottsdale AZ is located in the Salt River Valley on the ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Piipaash (Maricopa), whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. We acknowledge the sovereignty of these nations. We were honored to have Vice President Ricardo Leonard from Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (www.discoversaltriver.com) for a land acknowledgment presentation at Arizona Tiki Oasis 2021.
