The largest tiki convention in the world returns to San Diego this August 7-11. Tiki Oasis is a family-produced, five-day, Polynesian pop-lifestyle convention & party which takes place in America's Finest City each August, and is the only event of its kind on the West Coast.
Each year Tiki Oasis presents a different theme which explores, celebrates, and preserves mid-century aesthetics via entertainment, fashion, food, drink and education, while showing its relevancy in contemporary culture. This year's theme is "Catch the New Wave", an obvious nod toward surf music. Over the 5 nights and 4 days, the event will feature live music, dance, DJs, marketplace vendors, fashion shows, costume contests, poolside entertainment, a Miss Tiki Oasis contest, car show, kids activities, art exhibit, plus top experts giving educational presentations on everything from cocktails and food, art, architecture, pop culture history, and tiki carving!

The event, which moved to San Diego in 2006 and has grown to include two locations, three hotels, over 28 symposiums, 100 vendors, numerous sponsors, a slew of talent including live bands, disk jockeys, burlesque and go-go dancers, visual artists and carvers, guitar and ukulele instructors, vintage cars, mixology experts and well over 3000 attendees.
