Thank you for your question ! We are updating our website http://www.catalinatikifest.com to help answer more questions. One ticket gets you into ALL three days of tiki events including the luau and ALL bands. The only difference is the "Island level" tickets does not include luau meal. (We have a 1000 seats and can only serve 700 luau meals per Descanso Beach Club). The music is as follows Dynotones, King Kukulele, Friki Tiki's, Westwind Productions "Island Escape" of 50 choreographed Polynesian dancers and yes the band APE with Crazy AL. We have been playing phone tag with the Ape representative but we spoke to Crazy Al and a couple other band members at Tiki Oasis and they told us "Catalina Tiki Fest is penciled in". This is going to be a HUGE tiki event. Descanso beach is a beautiful ocean beach front location with several thatched bars, beautiful grass lawn for vendors, cultural exhibitions and bands. We have Fender guitar as a sponsor that is introducing a new ukulele and will have lots of Fender give-a-ways. Additional sponsors are Quiksilver Edition, Voodoo Rum, Don the Beachcomber, Tiki Farm, Latitude 33 and Catalina Express. Doug Horne has also signed up to make a limited edition Catalina Island Tiki fest event poster available only at the event. We are putting together a lot of additional surprises to be announced. If anyone needs any additional information PLEASE email me or post a note. WE CAN HELP. I can only say PLEASE plan early as accommodations will be harder to find as the date gets closer. We can give you reccommendations of good clean cheap places to the absolute best. We have also chartered a Catalina Express boat to return to Long Beach Saturday at 11:30 PM. If someone want to come for Saturday only, enjoy the vendors, cultural events, music, bands, luau, dance show, APE and still head home Saturday night that is possible. If would be one full day but one you would never forget (: !

I hope everyone is as excited about this as we are ! Catalina Island in August is an "E" ticket ride add a little rum some sun swaying palm trees, tiki torches and good music and let yourself be swept away by Catalina's intoxicating island ambiance.

Mahalo,
