Tiki Holiday? (King Kamehameha) - General Tiki

In the midst of my tiki obsession, I was searching for a "Tiki-Holiday." A day designed to celebrate all things tiki. Of course things tiki should be celebrated on any evening that you can lay your hands on a blender, some rum and some ice. That being said, the closest I came was the King Kamehameha Celebration of Hawaii, which I belive is TODAY, 12 June. Sadly, I can find no sort of celebration here in Washington DC. So I put it to you: Does Kamehameha Day get celbrated anywhere besides Hawaii? How is it celebrated? Are there other "tiki" holidays? King Kamehameha was the Hawaiian king fulfilled the prophecy of vanquishing all other chiefs to become the greatest of all chiefs in Hawaii, in the 1700’s. On the 11th of June Hawaii celebrates the "Napoleon of the Pacific."
