Tiki Kon is Portland, Oregon's original annual weekend tiki conference, celebrating mid-century Polynesian pop culture, exotic tropical travel, vintage fashion, and the artistry of the classic tiki revival.

What began as a home tiki bar crawl among friends grew into the Pacific Northwest's premier tiki event and one of the largest tiki conferences in the country. For two decades, Tiki Kon featured live surf and exotica music, traditional dance exhibitions, educational symposiums, workshops, art shows, meetups, room parties, and a marketplace of new and vintage collectibles, art, crafts, clothing, and more. It also included the world-famous Tiki Kon Home Bar Tour, the longest-running bar crawl of its kind. The festivities drew artists, authors, historians, performers, and guests from around the world.

In 2023, Tiki Kon celebrated its 20th anniversary with The Final Voyage, marking the conclusion of its large hotel-based conference run. While organizers expressed hope that smaller gatherings and special events would continue in the future, those plans remain uncertain. Even so, Tiki Kon's legacy lives on through the friendships it fostered, the artists and performers it championed, and the countless memories created over two decades of celebration, creativity, and aloha.
