Tropical Paradise Awaits at The Grass Skirt’s 7th Annual Tiki Luau

We’re gearing up to bid a festive farewell to summer at The Grass Skirt’s 7th Annual Tiki Luau—a Pacific Beach party that promises to be the hottest ticket in town.

Sip your way through rum tastings that capture the essence of the Caribbean, all while noshing on an array of tantalizing Polynesian snacks.

Executive Chef Brian Redzikowski is crafting an all-inclusive tropical bash that’ll transport you straight to Polynesian paradise, no passport required.

The star of the show? A traditional spit-roasted pig slowly turning over open flames and filling the air with mouthwatering aromas.

VIP Perks and Luau Luxuries

For those who like to kick things off early (and with a dash of extra indulgence), the VIP admission is calling your name. Snag this golden ticket, and you’ll be living the island life a full hour before the crowds roll in.

Exclusive access to the Captain’s Quarters? Check. Two specialty drink tickets? You bet. A Grass Skirt branded coconut that’s begging to be your new favorite accessory? It’s all yours.

But wait—there’s more in store for the VIP crew. A session with a henna artist will have you sporting some temporary tropical ink, and a welcome lei will complete your transformation into an honorary islander.

Don’t fret if you’re rolling with the General Admission crowd—there’s plenty of aloha to go around. From 3 PM, you’ll be diving into a spread that would make even the most particular luau enthusiast weak at the knees. We’re talking bao buns, fresh tuna poké, that irresistible roasted pork, and all the sides your heart desires.

And because no tropical getaway is complete without a little indulgence, Devil’s Dozen donuts will be on hand to satisfy your sweet tooth.

As the day mellows into evening, the libations will be flowing freely. The beverage sponsor list reads like a global tour of top-shelf spirits—from Diplomatico to Highland Park, Sipsmith to Monkey 47. Your cup (or coconut) will never run dry.

See you there!

So, dust off your loudest Hawaiian shirt and get ready to hula the night away. This luau welcomes revelers of all ages, with reduced ticket prices for the under-21 crowd and free entry for little ones under three.

The 7th Annual Tiki Luau at The Grass Skirt is happening on Sunday, October 20. VIP early birds catch the first wave at 2 PM, while general admission starts at 3 PM. The island vibes keep flowing until 8 PM—or until the last ukulele chord fades into the night.
