The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk offers a double scoop of island vibes this summer, with Friday bringing the first of two Summer Luau gatherings to the Aloha Terrace.

The evening event – also happening on July 25 – features Hawaiian-inspired entertainment including live music, hula dancing and appetizers like Spam musubi and fresh fruit. Guests are encouraged to dress in Hawaiian attire and will receive a complimentary lei. 

Doors will open at 6 p.m., with food and entertainment running through 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $69.95 for adults and $45.95 for children ages 2-8, including a $2 service fee. Children under 2 are free.
