Now that your warmed up from Tiki Oasis it's time to make you reservations and get tickets for Catalina Island Tikifest. If you have never been to Catalina Island this is the perfect time. It is kind of like So. Cal's little Hawaii. The date is August 18, 19 & 20th. It's best to book early because as it gets closer to summer accomodations are difficult to find. Go to http://www.catalinatikifest.com for tiki fest information or http://www.catalina.com to check out hotels available then give the hotels a call or email them. A couple good cheap ones downtown are the Hermosa Hotel and Atwater. A little way out of Avalon is the Catalina Canyon Hotel and then in the middle are the Island Inn, Cloud 7, El Terrado Terrace, Hotel Metropole, Pavilion Hotel, Hotel Catalina, Seaport Village ....lotsa choices.

The Catalina Tikifest is going to be at Descanso Beach a short walk from Avalon to a private sandy copacabana style beach with a huge grass area over looking the beach and stage. The grass area during the day will be for vendors, cultural displays and dancing to the great music line up all day. The Saturday big event is a luau and dance show with 48 professional dances from all the Islands,Tahiti, New Zealand, Somoa, Hawaii, etc.. We want everyone to plan early so the tickets (seating limited to 1000 and luau meal 700) are still available and accomodations are reasonable. We have even charted a boat back to Long Beach Saturday night at 11:30 for those that want to enjoy all day Saturday and still get back to the mainland Saturday night. The Catalina Express boat is a highspeed smooth boat that takes about an hour and departs from Long Beach, Dana Point and San Pedro.

If anyone has any specific questions about Catalina Island Tikifest that the website does not answer PLEASE post it and I will try and help and answer all that I can. Now grab your phone, drums or paddle and get those reservations..... 26 miles across the sea Santa Catalina is waiting for me ............

Thanks for listening,
