1st Annual Giant Luau

Grab your grass skirts and Hawaiian leis as our award-winning food and beverage team is bringing a taste of the islands to Northern Minnesota with the 1st Annual Giant Luau on July 18!
Blending tropical tradition with a full day of mountain adventure, guests can enjoy all of the Ridge’s signature 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 local favorite 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 show will feature a wide variety of beautifully restored vintage vehicles, offering guests a chance to admire automotive history and connect with fellow classic car aficionados.
The luau feast begins at 6:00 p.m. with a seated buffet, priced at $20 per person, featuring Polynesian-inspired favorites such as 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.
RESERVATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED – Just show up and dig in!
A cash bar will be available. An outdoor hamburger and hot dog bar will also be open.
