Every year we've gone it's been notably larger than the previous year. I like supporting the vendors--they have nifty elements that can enhance any tiki space.
Hopefully they respond to your request. Holy Diver definitely has the Tiki bar idea down by way of MCM, Kitsch with a little Punk ethos. The vibe is great, just need to have separate entrance.
Looks like great fun...much authenticity, a side of Tiki Culture that doesn't get as much exposure as the 1950s 1960s kitsch. I think any Tiki Bar can be made better by incorporating some of the more genuine native art made by the people themselves. Great video.
I tend to agree. Yes, tiki is "made up fantasy" but it borrows wholesale from existing cultures. The folks I spoke with said they thought it was pretty cool I had a home tiki bar and appreciated my coming out to support them. If I'm going to use Polynesian elements in my build, I think it only reasonable that I learn as much about these diverse cultures as I am able. Seriously, that's not a high bar.
That looks like a phenomenal Fiestaval, for sure!

There’s a couple new tiki style bars that opened recently in SA
I've reached out to Holy Diver several times to do an episode with them, but have gotten no response. 😕
