Mai-Kai 50th Anniversary
Ft. Lauderdale: Mai-Kai 50th Anniversary Dinner. 
Ad for the Mai-Kai's opening day in 1956,
from the Mai-Kai Archives About a thousand tikiphiles gathered to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Mai-Kai this past October, as part of the annual Hukilau event. However, the real, actual date of the 50th Anniversary is coming up on December 28th, and a special, more intimate celebration is planned. Tiki Kiliki is organizing a group reservation for Tiki Centralites for the prime seats of the house [~] right in front of the stage. Every evening at the Mai-Kai is a really special experience, and about the only way it can be improved upon is by sharing the experience with other people who share your love of tiki and of the Mai-Kai. If you[base ']re interested in joining the group, chime in on this thread on Tiki Central.
Those of us who are inconveniently located across the country may have to miss out on the dinner, but Tiki Kiliki has something special for us, too: every day between now and December 28, she[base ']s sharing an image from the Mai-Kai archives, or from the archives of the family of Mariano Licudine (the Mai-Kai's original genius mixologist). The image here comes from the Mai-Kai archives, and is an advertisement for the Mai-Kai's opening day, on December 28, 1956.
Happy Anniversary, Mai-Kai!
