This year is no exception: The theme will be Hawaii, in tribute to founder Peter Canlis’s love of the islands. Never forthcoming with details, owners Mark and Brian Canlis have teased that there will be tropical fare, champagne, live animals, waterfalls, and “a hint of the unexpected.” To round out the celebration, they’ve enlisted aloha apparel outfitter Tommy Bahama to join them, and the Chris Norton Band will return to perform.
