Pacific Islander Festival in San Diego

This weekend is the 15th annual Pacific Islander Festival in San Diego, California. Last year was my first year at this event and I was thoroughly impressed. The event is Saturday and Sunday down in the nice cool bay area by Sea World. I’m going to be cruising down from the OC on Sunday with the family.

Last year I couldn’t resist buying up stickers, t-shirts and fragrant aromas that remind me of the islands. If you can’t get to the islands this year, it’s the next best thing. The grinds, the music, the people, just da kine. If you can make it, you don’t want to miss out.

I snapped off a few photos from the Ho’olaule’a event this past weekend. Had chance to listen to Titus Napoleon play while a hula halau performed.

Doug Horne and “Crazy” Al Evans set up and served up their wares and talent. Doug’s style is great and in particularly I dig his retro polynesian pop architecture images.

Talk about some great carvings. Al’s ”Screamin’ Tiki” is now part of the collection.

Check out Doug at the Swamp Fire Lounge and ”Crazy” Al Evans at Tiki Mania.
