Celebrate the Christmas season Hawaiian style, as we celebrate our annual Mele Kalikimaka party this weekend from Friday through Sunday!

Mele Kalikimaka will be a three-day Christmas party with a (much needed) tropical infusion of warm vibes and tiki drinks to take the edge off the chill of the Pittsburgh winter. Our friends from Pittsburgh’s Tiki oasis, Hidden Harbor, will be on hand for the weekend to sling a menu of beautifully potent tropical drinks, and the Golden Age kitchen will be featuring dishes with smoked pork starring alongside its regular menu and some other tropical snacks for vegetarians and pork lovers alike.

The weekend will be chock full of Christmas entertainment too (full schedule below), and on Saturday, we’ll evenhave our very own Santa Claus on hand with a tropical backdrop for some photographs with your kiddos (or, let’s be frank, YOU in your finest tropical garb). Finally, for those of you shopping for the vinyl enthusiast, our good friend J.Malls will be selling records all weekend with a special emphasis on surf, exotica, Christmas, and tropical LPs.
