Tiki Oasis is bringing its signature island lifestyle party to the middle of the desert at sunny Scottsdale’s mid-century marvel, Hotel Valley Ho, April 12-14. Arizona Tiki Oasis is the sister event to the long-running and beloved Tiki Oasis, which returns to San Diego this summer.
Kick-off the weekend at the Tiki-Tiki Ho-Ho Luau, a stylish luau at Hotel Valley Ho’s hip OH Pool, complete with a traditional pig roast, fresh poke bowl station, grilled options including Crispy Cola Marinated Short Ribs, Hawaiian-themed desserts, and of course an array of delicious Tiki cocktails. The Tiki festivities continue with a bustling marketplace featuring more than 60 curated artisans. Arizona Tiki Oasis presents over 20 educational seminars with topics ranging from tropical cocktail mixology to the history of Tiki in the Southwest.
Experience a pop-up art show featuring international Tiki artists including Japan’s Mookie Sato and Josh Agle (AKA Shag) from Los Angeles, and Scottsdale’s Fashion by Robert Black will be doing a chic poolside fashion show. Authors Sven Kirsten (The Book of Tiki and Tiki Pop), Beachbum Berry (Grog Log and Sippin Safari), and Shannon Mustipher (Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails) will also make appearances at weekend seminars. Evenings will be filled with rooftop parties, cocktail-lounge-style dinners and a swanky suite open to those with the evening resort pass.
In between Tiki cocktails and programming, lounge poolside at the signature OH Pool, indulge in spa treatments at VH Spa and explore the city with the hotel’s new Insider Mid-Century Tour of Scottsdale. Event tickets are sold a la carte and range from $10 seminar tickets to an $80 evening hotel pass. A limited number of Tiki-Tiki Ho-Ho Luau tickets are available for purchase for $99 until April 12.
Tiki Oasis was originally founded to preserve a historic Palm Springs Tiki hotel, so it is only fitting that Arizona Tiki Oasis be hosted at one of the country’s best preserved mid-century hotels. Benefits will go to the Arizona Preservation Foundation.
