The Midwest’s wildest tiki weekender is back — and it’s bringing the boom. Mai Tai Mayhem with Tanduay Rum storms into Richfield, Ohio, March 6–8, 2026, delivering three days of tropical chaos hosted by Big Tuna & Polytiki, in partnership with Tiki Underground, Tanduay Rum, and the ever‑enthusiastic Tiki Ohio Ohana of the Akron area.
