Among the highlights:

Deadhead Rum will be hosting The Hukilau’s Official After Party at The Mai-Kai on Thursday, June 6, from 9 p.m. to midnight. There will be special Deadhead Rum cocktails served all night by guest mixologists from New York City, including the winning drink from The Hukilau’s recent contest for attendees. The Intoxicators are also performing in The Molokai.

Tattoo Magazine will be attending and will be looking for Tiki-themed tattoos to photograph. In a reprise from last year, Paul Roe will also be giving a special tattoo to Tiki Kiliki on Friday morning. The magazine will record the event and also photograph villagers and their body ink between 10 a.m. and noon.

Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid has added a third performance: A pearl diving show at 11:30 p.m Friday.

For the first time in The Hukilau’s history, the Tiki Treasures Bazaar will be free and open to the general public for all six hours on Saturday.

Beachbum Berry will have 100 pre-releases of his new Navy Grog Ice Cone Molds for sale and will be autographing boxes after his symposium. This unique product, manufactured by Cocktail Kingdom, will be making its world premiere at The Hukilau.

A seventh band has been added to the schedule: The NovaRays, an Orlando-based instrumental surf trio. Look for them at The Mai-Kai on Saturday. Saturday's Main Event lineup at The Mai-Kai also includes Ìxtahuele, The Ding Dong Devils, The Hula Girls, and The Intoxicators.
