1968 Luau Photos - The Tikis? - Collecting Tiki

I've got a pack of that around here somewhere. Since the barware is cardboard cups and there's an abundance of paper plates and plastic spoons, a seasonal luau grounds seems like a logical conclusion. Interesting that seasonal Bavarian festival grounds have survived in LA (Alpine Village, Old World, etc.) but Polynesian ones are gone. Maybe if there was an annual celebration - sort of a Hawaiian Oktoberfest - more would have survived. I guess Makahiki never caught on . . .
