Because of Covid we had almost no luaus until mid-April….when SoCal’s desire to party suddenly exploded! Then we had the challenge of training a very large staff of new workers, since we had lost nearly everyone during 2020’s pandemic. It was a pretty sharp learning curve, but our new workers did their best and we successfully pulled off 197 luaus in the next 8 months. We ended the year having put together more luaus than we have ever done. We are exhausted and ready for the slow season!

In 2017 Islanders Luau had 159 events at venues all over SoCal. Here are some fun pictures and videos from a handful of those tropical events!

Last month Islanders Luau traveled to Samoa to learn of Maril's heritage. We went to a Senior Center where the American Samoan Government has hired Senior Citizens to teach children traditional skills.  These skills are becoming scarce as Samoans focus on mastering Western skills. We were so grateful that the seniors squeezed us into their schedule.  Islanders Luau - We Bring the Islands To You  #Tradition

Diana designs many of the decorations and props that we use at our luaus.  By studying the traditional skills of weaving, carving, and traditional fabric printing, Islanders Luau is second-to-none in Southern California for authentic decor that will WOW your guests!
