The Seattle Tiki Weekender is bringing “Tikipalooza 2025” to the area, offering a 3-day festival packed with surf rock, tiki culture, vintage fashion, and tropical vibes.

Taking place the weekend of March 28-30, 2025, this multi-venue event in the White Center area promises an unforgettable weekend of live music, themed happy hours, a bustling tiki marketplace, and a special Sunday brunch.

“Seattle did not avoid the tiki craze that swept the nation in the 1950’s and in some ways, it’s never left! GIs returning from South Pacific after World War II brought an affection for the islands back with them, and Tiki Fever caught on with the nation,” organizers said.
