We’re so excited to finally announce that Park Candy will be vending at Tiki-a-Go-Go on April 4–5, 2025 , right here in Orlando! This will be our very first time vending at the event, and we’ll be at booth #13 both days with a collection we’ve poured our hearts into.
Steve and I have loved tiki culture for years. What started with collecting little tiki trinkets turned into a shared obsession with all things Polynesian Pop, vintage Americana, and mid-century modern style. Steve has even spent years transforming a corner of our home into his very own tiki hideaway—it’s wild, magical, and a true labor of love.
So this collection is personal. It’s our first time bringing tiki to Park Candy in a real way, and it feels so good to finally create the kinds of pieces we’ve always wished existed in the community.
This is what our hideaway looked like in 2023. There's soooo much more going on in there now!
Say Aloha to Park Candy: Island Supply
To mark our tiki debut, we’re launching a new sub-brand: Park Candy: Island Supply . It’s our take on bold prints, retro charm, and tropical vibes—blended with the same playful energy that runs through everything we do.
This new line is filled with pieces we’ve always wished existed—colorful apparel, fun barware, and limited-run designs that spark that “Where did you get that?” moments. Island Supply isn’t just a one-time thing—it’s something we’re building out of love for the culture, the design, and the community around it.

The Tiki-a-Go-Go Collection – Event Exclusives
Everything at our booth will be part of the Tiki-a-Go-Go Collection, and most items will be event exclusives launching at the booth first. We’re bringing limited quantities of everything, so if you’re attending, come see us at booth #13 on April 4th and 5th for first dibs, special pricing, and a few surprises.
We’re honored to feature Tiki-a-Go-Go's brand new pattern designed by Mookie Sato, a Japanese illustrator known for his beautifully nostalgic, retro-tropical art. His designs make up our Tiki-a-Go-Go Aloha Shirt and Sweetheart Swing Dress – packed with references to tiki culture and aesthetics right here in Florida.
These pieces will launch at Tiki-a-Go-Go on April 4th, and they are truly wearable art.

Tiki Tiki Returns – Online & In Person April 4
Our fan-favorite Tiki Tiki pattern is back—and this time, we’re finally expanding it the way we always intended. This fiery red-orange design is one of our most requested ever, and we’re thrilled to bring it back with a button-up shirt and a matching swing dress, launching both online and at Tiki-a-Go-Go on April 4th. Keep an eye out for more colorways available soon!
Working with Parker Harley's beautiful art
The art was created by the incredibly talented Parker Harley (@parker.h.creative), who we’ve had the pleasure of working with in the past. Parker has a real gift for balancing bold color with playful energy, and their original design helped shape the entire Tiki Tiki vibe back when we first launched the collection in 2021.
At that time, we released a small collection—a phone case and a button-up shirt—but we always envisioned more. Now, with Parker’s art leading the way again, we’re expanding the collection to include glassware, a bottle opener, new apparel. It’s vibrant, nautical, and full of personality—perfect for anyone ready to make a dive dive dive into a Mai Tai.
The reimagined Tiki Tiki collection will launch online and at the event on April 4, 2025.
This is what Tiki Tiki looked like when it launched. It's so much cooler now!
Imagine this, but printed much larger so you can see it from a distance.
We Haven't Had Glassware Since 2021!
After a long hiatus, glassware is finally back at Park Candy —and we couldn’t be more excited. We're debuting a brand-new Tiki Tiki Glass Set at Tiki-a-Go-Go, our first glass release since 2021. This launch is extra special to us—not just because it’s been so long, but because so many of you have asked for it to return.
The design perfectly complements our Tiki Tiki apparel and is made to elevate your home tiki bar, cocktail shelf, or vintage glassware collection. And to make it even more fun, we’ve teamed up with Permanent Vacation —one of our absolute favorite local tiki bars—who provided a recipe for their signature Mai Tai and housemade orgeat syrup.
If you’re local (or just visiting Central Florida), we highly recommend stopping by Permanent Vacation in Maitland, FL. Their cocktails, vibe, and hospitality are all top-tier. You can check them out at permanentvacationfl.com.
To top it all off, we’re also debuting our What’s Kraken Bottle Opener at the event—a playful, tentacled twist on our popular openers, perfect for pairing with your glass set. It’s part of our vision to fully expand the Tiki Tiki collection into a complete vibe, from barware to bold apparel and beyond.
We pulled elements from our Tiki Tiki pattern to make a beautiful glassware design.
The set will include a fun box, two 15 ounce Mai Tai glasses,
Are you feeling nauti baby? 😉

A Booth We're Really Proud Of
We’ve been working so hard to build a booth experience that feels immersive, nostalgic, and a little magical. It’s filled with special details, textures, and vintage touches—and it features hand-picked pieces from Forever Vintage in Winter Haven, Florida.
If you’re not familiar with Forever Vintage, they specialize in Walt Disney World collectibles and furniture salvaged from resorts and attractions during renovations or rebuilds - we're waiting on those pieces from the Polynesian 🤩.
Their inventory includes everything from vintage Disney decor and cruise line memorabilia to actual ride vehicle pieces and retired props from some of your favorite attractions. We absolutely love the kind folks who run it, and if you’re ever in the Winter Haven area, we highly recommend checking them out! You can explore more here: forevervintagecollectibles.com
