Otto and Baby Doe von Stroheim present….TIki Oasis 9!!

Sponsored by Save Our Heritage Organization – SOHO San Diego, Surfrider Foundation, and The California Surf Museum

What: Tiki Oasis 9 – Tiki Surf City
A convention for Tiki lovers! Join Tiki Oasis as we take over an entire hotel for a 4-day weekend of wild and wooly fun in the sun!

Escape the stress of everyday life with a weekend getaway that is right in your own backyard.
Within minutes you will be relaxing by a pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and watched over by a 10 foot tall guardian Tiki. You can order a tropical cocktail such as a Blue Hawaiian or Mai Tai without leaving the comfort of your chaise lounge. Or take a stroll into the secluded Tiki atrium, sit by the Koi fish pond, and listen to the soft waterfall serenade.

If its excitement you want, then check out live Tiki carvers and roam the bustling bazaar with over 60 vendors peddling wares from around the world. Take in the sounds of live disc jockeys and bands, watch a movie, or dance the Boogaloo at our all-night Beach Party!
