Giant Luau

Giants Ridge is bringing a taste of the islands to northern Minnesota with the inaugural Giant Luau, blending tropical feast with a full day of mountain adventure.

Guests can enjoy all of the Giants Ridge’s summer activities, including lift-served downhill mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, disc golf and hiking. For the luau, a sand-filled volleyball court will add a beach-style twist to the day’s offerings.

The Cruise to the Ridge classic car show is also part of the day’s festivities. Car enthusiasts will convene in the Main Chalet parking lot beginning at 5:00 p.m. The evening luau celebration begins at 6:00 p.m. with a seated luau buffet. The menu features Polynesian-inspired favorites such as roasted Kalua pig with Hawaiian sweet rolls, Huli Huli chicken with coconut rice, SPAM musubi with macaroni salad, poke bowls and a fresh seasonal fruit display. An outdoor hamburger and hot dog bar will also be serving traditional summer fare and a cash bar will be available with a host of special summer cocktails and non-alcoholic mocktails.

Live fire dancers will provide a cultural performance, bringing energy and tradition to the mountain setting.
