Island Party + Mahalo Release: Both Locations

4.8

Details

Escape to the islands without leaving the city at the Annual Island Party & Mahalo Release, taking over both St. Elmo Brewing locations on June 20, 2026 at 5:00 pm.

This tropical bash is built around the release of Mahalo, a pineapple pale ale that’s pouring on draft and popping in cans all night long. Expect bright, juicy pineapple vibes, laid-back island energy, and plenty of chances to say “just one more” in the most vacation-y way possible.

  • Pineapple-forward Mahalo Pale Ale in cans and on tap
  • Fun frozen drinks crafted for adults and kid-friendly sippers too
  • Goodpop popsicles to keep things cool and sweet
  • Food specials and food trucks slinging serious flavor

The party is split between both St. Elmo spots, each with its own soundtrack and scene, so you can bounce between them or settle in where the vibe feels right.

At St. Elmo Springdale:

  • The Del Vipers from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, serving up surfy, reverb-soaked rock that feels straight out of a beach movie soundtrack
  • Limbo contests with kids at 5:30 pm and adults at 7:30 pm (times subject to change)
  • Plenty of space to dance, mingle, and chase those island breezes with a cold pint in hand

At St. Elmo South:

  • The Avocados from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, kicking things off with feel-good tunes
  • DJ CYSUM from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm, turning the evening into a full-on tropical dance floor
  • Limbo contests for kids at 5:30 pm and adults at 7:30 pm (times subject to change), so you can test your flexibility after a few Mahalos

Fueling the fun are some of the city’s favorite food trucks, bringing a little global flair to your island night.

  • Patty Palace serving up juicy patties and loaded bites
  • Via 313 with their cult-favorite Detroit-style pizza
  • Spicy Boys bringing bold, crispy chicken and flavor-packed plates
  • Pueblo Viejo with craveable tacos and classic Tex-Mex staples

The event is all ages, so you can bring the whole crew, from little beach bums to seasoned beer fans. There’s free parking and lots of space to roam, relax, or post up with friends for the whole evening.

Whether you’re chasing the newest craft release, hunting for frozen treats, or just looking for an excuse to wear your loudest Hawaiian shirt, the Island Party & Mahalo Release is your built-in summer kickoff. Grab a Mahalo, find your limbo stance, and let both St. Elmo locations turn your Saturday into a mini vacation.
