What: International TIKI Market Place
Who: Over 40 Tiki Vendors, Live Entertainment & MORE!!!
When: Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 11am to 4pm
Where: Don the Beachcomber, Hidden Village and High Chief's Room
Cost: FREE! You pay $10 admission and get $10 voucher for food and/or drinks!!! This is a Family Friendly Event. Kids Under 12 are Free
Why: In line with Donn Beach and his founding the International Market Place in Hawaii in 1956, we bring the International Tiki Market Place to Don the Beachcomber.

I want to thank you all in advance for sharing our vision of bringing the spirit of the International Market Place (founded by Donn Beach in 1956) and the spirit of TIKI which we all share thanks to Don the Beachcomber! Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo!-SoccerTiki, Promoter

“Don the Beachcomber admires very much the work that members of our community have put into the development of such events as the amazing Tiki Oasis, The Hukilau, and other big ticket gatherings of our clan across the United States. Through that work a very positive effect has been felt in the growth and expansion of Tiki in America. DTB supports each of them, both financially and emotionally.

However, we believe that Tiki would additionally benefit from the development of smaller projects, that do not demand long trips, reduce costs to the participants simply by holding the costs to those who stage them to a minimum, making access possible to vendors who otherwise would not be able to afford it.”
Art Snyder, Owner, Don the Beachcomber

And a very BIG MAHALO to our sponsor:

[ Edited by: SoccerTiki 2013-10-09 12:23 ]

Thanks Karen & Chris for another great Tiki Market Place. My wallet took a beating.

Thanks to Chris, Karen and all the staff at DTB, another good time with old and new friends. This event is awesome and so glad to be a part of it.

Wow. We really need to drive up for one of these sometime!

Bought this detailed cast concrete Marquesan tiki from Jason (smokin tikis). Seems right at home

I love that so much!

Smokin Menehunes had a blast!

Thank you Chris and Karen for an always great event!

Thanks to all the vendors whom make this a fun time just to hang out
(Lake Tiki made the crazy long trip out & we got a surprise visit from Dave "Squid" to boot)
And of course Chris, Karen & Don's for all the hard work putting this shindig together.

Had fun hanging with Ben,Vicki,Doug,Chris,Karen & Spike after wards in the Dagger Bar
where I did not try to kill any karaoke singers for once, Chris & Spike even
did the only upbeat numbers of the evening.

Woohoo.! Mark It on Your Calendars.......The Next International Tiki Market Place will be on Saturday, December 7th.

[ Edited by: WooHooWahine 2013-10-27 19:20 ]

Thank you to all who came out and met up with friends, did some shopping, listened to some great music, came for the drinks, or all of the above!! And Thank you to Don the Beachcomber, Delia and staff for all of their support and great service!

And a BIG MAHALO to Kim and the gang at Deadhead Rum for their sponsorship!!!

We started early and had a great "Early Bird" turn out! We gave out Deadhead Rum cups and keychains to all the early birds! Over 250 guests with another 65 +/- Vendors and friends made for a great ITMP! We introduced a very skillful Slack-Key Guitar player to the entertainment list and he was awesome! The Smokin' Menehunes and Kimo were on top of their game as well! Great music guys!!!

I can't wait to announce the lineup and events for the next ITMP coming December 7, 2013. Stay tuned! And mark it on your calendar today!

Again, Mahalo!
