Lauderdale, Florida. With an oceanfront location, the Holiday Inn Fort
Lauderdale Beach is the host hotel for this year's event. Two nights of
ultimate Tiki hijinx are planned for all who make the pilgrimage down south.
An ocean view is the backdrop for the opening night party the 27th in the
Holiday Inn's penthouse ballroom. Orlando's sensational Delusionaires and
Italy's I Bella di Wai Kiki will keep the crowd in a frenzy with their
unique tunes and stage antics. King Kukulele will also exercise our funny
bone with his energetic act.
June 28th, the Mai Kai is opening an hour early just for the Hukilau
attendees. After dinner and the magnificent Mai Kai show, King Kukulele will
entertain in the Molokai bar.
Everyone must make their own reservations at BOTH the Holiday Inn
(954-563-5961) and the 7pm dinner/show at the Mai Kai(800-262-4524). Mention
Hukilau when making reservations to receive the $79.00 room rate at the
