Of course, there's also plenty of food and drink available from local establishments and specialty vendors that set-up for the outdoor event. For more information call 561-822-1515.
Friday
Hula & Fire Show at Da Big Kahuna
The massive tikis that loom over the bars and tables at Da Big Kahuna were imported directly from Hawaii -- as were most of the restaurant staff, including the owners. So it makes sense that this would be the ultimate place to hang out for a killer tiki bar experience. Part of the fun includes the drinks (like the Jungle Juice served in a large shell and made tons of rum), and the weekly hula shows (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday). The best, however, is the free Hawaiian hula and Samoan fire show, which goes down from 8-9:30 p.m. this Friday.
Sushi & Stroll at Morikami Museum
Delray Beach's Morikami Museum invites locals to discover traditional and contemporary Japanese culture and pan-Asian cuisine during a special "Sushi & Stroll" summer walk series this month. The evening will feature music with taiko drums, cold drinks, a stroll down the museum's walking path through the ground's tranquil gardens, and food. Go at your own pace and take advantage of a free tour of the museum and gardens while savoring cuisine from the museum's Cornell Café. Then sip some craft sake from Stacole Fine Wines, all while listening to the taiko drumming by Fushu Daiko. The evening starts at 5:30 p.m. and runs until 8:30 p.m. Admission at the gate is $8 for adults; $6 for children 4-10. The event is free for museum members, and children 3 and under. Food and drink will be sold separately, and there is a $2 fee for the taiko performance.
