🌺 The Hukilau 2026: A Weekend of Aloha, Music, and Tiki Magic with ETI RADIO

The Legendary Florida Tiki Oceanside Weekender has come to a close - and what an unforgettable celebration it was. From June 4–7, 2026, The Hukilau transformed the Beachcomber Resort in Pompano Beach into a vibrant world of Polynesian pop, vintage escapism, and oceanside aloha. Thousands of tiki fans gathered for sun, surf, cocktails, culture, and community, creating a weekend that will be remembered for years to come.

This year, ETI RADIO proudly served as the exclusive online radio station of The Hukilau 2026 - and the entire broadcast team delivered one of the most dynamic, immersive, and heartfelt weekends in station history.

🌴 A Weekend Powered by ETI RADIO

Throughout the festival, ETI RADIO streamed nonstop vintage Hawaiian classics, golden‑age exotica, tiki lounge favorites, and special themed programming created exclusively for the event. Whether guests were strolling the resort grounds, lounging poolside, or tuning in from across the world, ETI RADIO provided the perfect soundtrack to the tropical celebration.

But the heart of the weekend came from the two live Happy Hour broadcasts, which brought together the full TBC crew in a powerful blend of on‑location energy and studio‑driven production.

🎙️ Live Happy Hour Shows - A True Team Effort

Friday, June 5 - Live from the World‑Famous Mai‑Kai Restaurant

Tikimon and MalibuBaby kicked off the festivities with a high‑energy Aloha Friday Happy Hour broadcast from the legendary Mai‑Kai. The atmosphere was electric - cocktails shaking, torches blazing, and the spirit of old‑school Polynesian supper clubs alive and well.

Saturday, June 6 - Live from The Hukilau Event Grounds

The second Happy Hour broadcast came straight from the Beachcomber Resort, capturing the pulse of the festival as it unfolded. Guests stopped by the ETI RADIO table to say aloha, grab a pin, and be part of the show.

🌺 MalibuBaby Shines with Interviews & Tiki Legends

One of the standout highlights of the weekend was MalibuBaby’s incredible series of interviews. Throughout both live broadcasts, she connected with attendees, vendors, performers, and tiki icons - capturing stories, memories, and the unique spirit that makes The Hukilau so beloved.

Her warm energy and natural curiosity brought out the best in every guest, creating moments that listeners will be talking about long after the event.

🍹 Tikimon Keeps the Aloha Spirit Flowing

As always, Tikimon brought his signature charm, humor, and aloha to every moment of the broadcast. Whether he was hyping the crowd, sharing stories, or keeping the music flowing, Tikimon ensured that the energy stayed high and the vibes stayed tropical.

His presence on the ground helped anchor the broadcasts with authenticity and excitement - the perfect host for a weekend built on community and celebration.

🌐 Tiki Brian & Cat‑Tiki Broadcast Live from Exotic Tiki Island

While the remote team held down the fort in Florida, Tiki Brian and Cat‑Tiki were broadcasting live from the TBC studios on Exotic Tiki Island. Their contributions blended seamlessly with the on‑location energy, creating a unified, island‑wide broadcast experience.

From curated playlists to special segments and commentary, they helped bring the full ETI RADIO magic to listeners around the world - proving once again that the TBC network is at its best when the whole crew comes together.
