Dear Long Islander,
It’s been a gray and rainy couple days, and unfortunately those clouds look like they’re going to linger. If we’re fortunate we may catch a glimpse of a never-before-seen meteor shower tonight, but even if the weather doesn’t cooperate there will still be plenty of pretty lights in the sky when fireworks are launched at Memorial Day celebrations across the Island. There will be a lot of great parades and ceremonies for the holiday, so make sure you check a couple out and have a happy and safe Memorial Day!
Off Key Tikki Memorial Day Celebrations!
Enjoy Food, Fun, and Live Music Memorial Day Weekend and All Summer Long!
Summer’s finally here and the Off Key Tikki celebrates Memorial Day weekend with a lot of flavor and an epic lineup of live bands. Friday night starts with happy hour from 4-7pm featuring live bands playing reggae, and from 7-11pm there will be Vintage Soul rounding things off with top 40's hits. Saturday, another amazing lineup of live bands kick off the new "Southern Rock Beach Party Afternoons." Sunday, Off Key Tikki’s signature "Island Brunch Buffet" runs from 11-2pm with live summer beach music from 1-5PM and reggae from 5-9pm. The Off Key Tikki will be alive with music, food, and fun everyday this summer!
