Arizona Tiki Oasis 2025

The 2025 Arizona Tiki Oasis is scheduled for April 24-27 at the very cool mid-century modern Valley Ho hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. Brought to you by Otto and Baby Doe. ! Great venue and an all star line up of speakers including Sven Kirsten, Beachbum Berry, and yours truly Dustycajun. Come on out, it is going to be a blast.

Hi Dusty,

I one were to stay at another hotel (less expensive) in the area, assuming all applicable tickets were purchased:

1. Is that allowable?
2. Does it limit any access or participation?

Just asking because if I were to attempt to travel to AZ, it would be quite expensive just for flights and the event. I realize it's not ideal, but just asking the question.

Thanks!

You can stay off-site no problem. You just need to buy the event pass to get into the venue in the evenings. There are hotels and rentals close to the site. Hope to see you there!

My seminar is on Skipper Kent and Stephen Crane, two heros of the Tiki past.

@Slither io The lineup better be epic, I'm expecting serious vintage vibes and maybe even a fire dancer or two. Seriously though, is it too early to start packing my Hawaiian shirt? I was once stuck organizing a luau last minute because the caterer bailed and the ice machine died a spectacular death; it was like herding cats while playing with one hand!

@Slope Game What kind of rum drinks will dominate this time around? I remember one time, trying to navigate a crowded music festival felt a bit like playing , dodging people left and right trying not to get cut off, only with less snake-like grace.

The 2025 Arizona Tiki Oasis is amazing, and I love to learn more about it. I saw at the Chermside that many people are talking about it, and it is good or me to learn what it is all about.

Great to see this event back! Valley Ho is such a chill place for Tiki Oasis. Has anyone been in previous years? Are there any special events this year related to Escape Road? Looking forward to seeing everyone in April!
