<\/p>\nTiki Oasis is back for another five nights, and this year\u2019s theme is Psychedelic Tiki \u2013 which is exactly as fun as it sounds. Diaphanous paisley, pop-art design, kaleidoscopic Pacific Island scenes, and a swirl of tropical cocktails, luau feasts, and bartender battles across the weekend.<\/p>\n
The main event lives at the Town and Country Resort, and the kick-off Luau takes over the Catamaran. Here\u2019s where to spend the food-and-spirits budget.<\/p>\n
Kick Things off at The Catamaran Luau<\/p>\n
The whole thing kicks off with a Luau at the historic Catamaran (est. 1958), which has the original Polynesian motif, artifact-filled lobby galleries, and Tikis dotted along the waterways. It\u2019s the kind of setting that basically writes the vibe for us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The ticket includes a lei greeting, welcome Mai Tai, an all-you-can-eat buffet, and live entertainment from Pride of Polynesia. Show up early for a walk down the pier or a quiet moment on the beach \u2013 the surroundings are half the point.<\/p>\n

The mixology seminars themselves are worth the trip alone.

Tickets sold a la carte, with or without an event pass.<\/p>\n \u2139\ufe0f Check out the full lineup<\/a><\/p>\n Cheer on the San Diego Bartender Battle<\/p>\n The weekend wraps with the San Diego Bartender Battle, hosted by Tiki Niki and Captain Dave and sponsored by Crossfire Hurricane Rum and REAL Infused Exotics.
