Tiki Oasis, the original “Tiki Weekender” and family produced event celebrates its 10th anniversary with a non-stop, multi-faceted three-days packed full of festivities.
In addition to celebrating the Tiki lifestyle with a weekend of live music, burlesque, DJs and more, Tiki Oasis fuses escapist and educational realms with explorations into the visual arts, mixology and culinary symposiums, vintage automotive and fashion exhibitions, children’s activities, plus a free daytime shopping bazaar with over 70 vendors.
Tiki Oasis 10 will be presenting the Keep A Breast art show featuring over 22 artists including Tim Biskup, Derek Yaniger, Isabel Samaras and others creating painted and multi-media breast casts of over 22 women including the likes of artist Fifi and Russ Meyers film legend Tura Satana. Proceeds will be donated to The Keep A Breast Foundation whose mission is to eradicate breast cancer by informing young people about methods of early detection, prevention, and support for those affected by breast cancer. www.keep-a-breast.org
Originally conceived as a fundraiser to support the rehabilitation of the Palm Springs Caliente Tropics Motel, Tiki Oasis outgrew its original 88 room location and Southern California-centric following and in 2006 moved to its current location in San Diego where the event sells out a 400 room hotel and draws over 2500 attendees from all over the world.
Part Mid-Century preservation and education, part Polynesian celebration and 100% party paradise, Tiki Oasis is the creation of San Francisco couple Otto and Baby Doe von Stroheim. Otto is a revered San Francisco DJ and the publisher of Tiki News magazine, the first publication which encouraged the revival and preservation of Tiki and its lifestyle. Baby Doe is an acclaimed choreographer whose expertise is in historic dance trends; her specialties include '60s go-go and retro-burlesque. Both bring their passions for Tiki and desire to preserve what they feel are timeless aspects of pop culture from times past to the public with their long-time experience in event coordination and promotion.
