The Aloha Fridays food truck will be present with their choice of Hawaiian nibbles such as Chicken Katsu, Loco Moco, Ahi Tuna Shoyu Poke, Kalua Pork, Garlic Shrimp and Spam Musabi.
All night, Tiki No will feature $6 tiki drinks. These tasty creations will include the Hawaiian Punch, with vodka, Cruzan aged rum, Blue Curacao, pineapple, lemon and simple syrup, as well as the Chief Lapu Lapu, with Jamaican dark rum, silver rum from St. Croix, orange juice, passion juice and fresh lemon. One of the most famous of Tiki drinks will be part of the $6 menu, the Pina Colada, a cold and tasty concoction of silver rum from St. Croix, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and fresh pineapple, all blended into the classic smooth drink everyone loves.
