Aloha everybody!

A decade ago, Jeremy Fleener had a dream and a vision, and brought back LA's oldest Tiki gem from tarnished obscurity, polished it, and restored it to it's proper place in the pantheon of Tiki... and the rest is history!

Celebrate the Rebirth of Tonga Hut on Sunday, March 15th

The fun kicks off at 2pm with Parking Lot Sale and Art Show.

The theme for the Art Show is coconuts in honor of Jeremy's impromptu renditions of "Big Brown Nut", a favorite tune among Hut regulars... and, we're all coconuts for the Hut! Artists will be competing for the title of "Best in (Coconut) Shell"!

DJ Tonga Tom will be spinning tunes.

Durango's Tacos will provide the eats.

Vending/Art Show until dusk, and then the festivities move inside at 6pm for a 60's Dance Party with DJ Dan Moses

Also available will be a limited edition 10th Anniversary coconut mug!

See everybody on Sunday!

There will also be Tonga Hut coconut mug pendants, if that's not too nutty!
Ceramic, with the same glaze finish as the mugs!

See everyone on Sunday!

Found out today my stupid ceramics will not be ready for the event, but here's a painting I did... I call it "Botanical Mai Tai"... inspired by botanical drawings, but instead of the usual scientific info, I've helpfully detailed how these various plants combine to form a delicious mai tai!

11x14, acrylic on paper. I'll have prints available for 20.00!

See everybody on Sunday!
