If you’re looking for the ultimate way to welcome warm weather, mark your calendar and grab your flip-flops—Decoys Seafood is bringing the heat (and the flavor) with its Annual Tiki Bar Luau, happening Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
This isn’t just an event—it’s a full-on celebration of tiki season, and it's become a favorite local tradition that keeps getting better every year. With the picturesque backdrop of Bennett’s Creek, Decoys is once again turning up the good vibes with island-inspired food, craft cocktails, and live music that’ll have you dancing with your drink in hand.
“We wait for this day all year long,” says Chef Lawrence Patterson, Executive Chef at Decoys. “It’s our way of saying, ‘Hey, summer’s coming—let’s kick things off with great food, great drinks, and even better people.’”
What to Expect:
Live Music from BLSD
Get ready to move—local fan-favorite BLSD will be rocking the stage with a high-energy live set. Whether you’re into dancing or just vibing with a drink, they’ll keep the atmosphere buzzing all afternoon.
Tiki-Inspired Menu
Chef Patterson and the kitchen crew are whipping up exclusive tropical dishes just for the Luau. Think bold flavors, coastal flair, and food that makes you feel like you're on vacation—even if it’s just for a few hours.
Craft Cocktails + Cold Beers
Each adult ticket includes two of Decoys’ famous Waterman’s Signature Crushes (yes, they’re as good as they sound) or select beers. Sip, relax, repeat.
Fun for All Ages
This isn’t just an adults-only affair. Youth tickets are available too, so bring the kids, the neighbors, or the whole crew. The Luau is all about connection, sunshine, and those easy-breezy waterfront vibes.
