Arizona Tiki Oasis has come and gone for another year.

Hundreds of tiki and midcentury modern fans converged on Hotel Valley Ho April 25 to 28 for four days of cocktail parties, lectures and classes, tropical music and really fabulous outfits.

We stopped by the Arizona Tiki Oasis Marketplace, a public event held on the lawn of the hotel, to check out the scene.
