A line of bamboo torches can be lit that disappear into the ocean can each symbolize a cornerstone of tiki - Vic Bergeron, Don Beach, Thor Heyrdahl, etc. Communal ceremony. We can recite some campy "allegiance to tiki" and take a communal swig of Mai Tai from Chiki's World Largest Tiki Mug. Begin a "Tiki Hall of Fame." Induct a new member to the Tiki Hall of Fame at each yearly Int'l Tiki Day event. The candidate can be dead or alive, a carver, restaurant, mug manufacturer, etc.
