Detroit Chin Tiki Art Show & Tour Update.

The date of the annual Chin Tiki Art Show, Party and Tour has been rescheduled to Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2 & 3.

The Chin family has informed me that this will be the last tour of the historic Chin Tiki Detroit! They are currently in serious negotiations to sell the restaurant with the building's sale imminent.

The Motor City Tiki Art Show will still go on for years, but this is the last original restaurant tour that will be held in conjunction with our event. So we are making plans to be sure that this years event will be very special. Anyone who wishes to attend the show and take advantage of this last Detroit tour as participants, as vendors or as contributing artists, please email me: Nancy at [email protected]

Schedule of events to date:

Saturday Sept. 2, 2006 7pm to 1am Great Lakes Luau at
Chin Tiki Livonia 28205 Plymouth Rd. Livonia, MI 734-421-1627
Original tiki art by local and national tiki artists, vendors, exotica & surf music by DJ Del Villarreal, tropical drinks and food available.

Chin Tiki Raffle!
Donated by the Chin Family to help defray the many costs of this event we are raffling the following authentic & historical Chin Tiki artifacts:

  1. Unused new/old stock menu from the Chin family restaurant The Port O' Three. Tiki restaurant was open for one year only in a Detroit suburb, the menu has Chin Tiki graphics. 2) Rare used die-cut Chin Tiki Detroit restaurant menu. 3) Dead Stock hand carved Chin Tiki seashell ashtray. 4) Original paper artifacts from the restaurant: old one sheet special event menus, + more. And.... 5) The Chin family has located a case of new old stock SUFFERING BASTARD decanter mugs. Unused, still in original paper wrapping. One of these mugs will go in our raffle.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Tickets available at the event or through PayPal right now. To pay by PalPal, please add 50 cents per order to ship you your ticket. PayPal to email address: [email protected] The drawing will be held on Sunday at the Chin Tiki Detroit restaurant tour.

Sunday Sept 3, 1 pm to 4pm
Tour of the original Chin Tiki Detroit. Tickets $5, available in advance or at the door. $5 charge is to help defray our advertising and security costs.
Free new old stock Chin Tiki postcard to all who attend. Marlin Chin will be on hand to answer questions. DJ Del Villarreal spinning the exotic tunes! We cannot offer food or drink as The Chin Tiki has no working restrooms, but perhaps we could all meet up at a local bar afterward.
