Just looking at the title of this Hawaiian-themed solstice/holiday party evokes that scene from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, where Chevy Chase is staring longingly out the window, imagining a sunny poolside vista in place of his snow-caked neighborhood to the tune of “Mele Kalikimaka.” Google the song, and that particular video clip is the first thing that pops up, though the Mele Kalikimaka Luau evening shindig will be soundtracked by cheeky surf rock-hued Twisty Chris & the Puddin' Packs. Music starts at 7 p.m. Lei contests and limbo competition included; the best male and female lei's get a giftcard from Dunedin House of Beer, while the first place limbo winner lands a longboard from Kona Brewing. Kona will have lots of beer on tap, too, and Aloha To Go food truck will be serving fine Hawaiian fare. 5-11 p.m. (music starts at 7 p.m.), Dunedin House of Beer, 927 Broadway, Dunedin, free admission.
