The Seattle Tiki Weekender is gearing up for "Tikipalooza 2025," a three-day festival that celebrates tiki culture, surf rock, and vintage fashion from March 28-30, 2025, in the White Center area. Festival-goers can expect an exciting lineup of live music, including the final performance of The Earthlings, along with other talented bands such as The Evanstones and The Tiki Wrays. Attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in tiki-themed happy hours and explore a vibrant marketplace filled with vintage finds. The event honors Seattle's historical connection to tiki culture, which gained popularity in the 1950s, thanks to GIs returning from the South Pacific. A ticketed Sunday brunch will cap off the festivities, offering a unique culinary experience.

Tickets can be purchased online, with a two-day pass available for $45. Additionally, the event organizers have partnered with The Grove West Seattle for hotel accommodations, providing a discount for attendees. With its blend of music, culture, and community spirit, Tikipalooza 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration.
