The first annual Tiki-a-Go-Go<\/a> in Orlando delivered as promised. The April 5-7 event indeed was a trip back in time, taking guests on a rollicking ride through mid-century Florida theme parks, Tiki bars, and other retro touchstones.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, the inaugural event at the picturesque Caribe Royale Resort<\/a> also turned back the clock with a carefree vibe and spirit of aloha that harkend back to the early days of the Tiki revival. A good time seemed to be had by all during the Friday and Saturday activities at the hotel, spilling over into Sunday’s Magical Tiki Meet Up.<\/p>\n

As evidence, we submit the photos and videos below. See you next year!<\/p>\n

April 5-7 – Tiki-a-Go-Go<\/a><\/strong> at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando (Friday-Saturday).
