International Tiki Day with ETI RADIO

Every year, on the second Saturday in August, tiki enthusiasts around the globe raise their mai tais and light their torches in celebration of International Tiki Day - a vibrant homage to Polynesian pop culture, exotic cocktails, and the escapist spirit that defines the tiki lifestyle. But this year, the celebration goes beyond the bamboo and rum. It’s going digital, immersive, and downright legendary - thanks to ETI RADIO, the heartbeat of Exotic Tiki Island.

🗿 What Is International Tiki Day?

International Tiki Day is more than just a date - it’s a mood. It’s a celebration of the mid-century tiki revival that swept through America in the 1940s and '50s, blending Polynesian aesthetics with tropical cocktails, carved idols, and escapist fantasy. From backyard luaus to tiki bar crawls, the day invites everyone to embrace the laid-back island vibe, if only for a moment.

Whether you're donning a vintage aloha shirt, mixing up a Navy Grog, or dancing to surf rock under string lights, International Tiki Day is your passport to paradise.
