Celebrate the 87 th Annual Solvang Danish Days 2024 Festival!
There’s no other place like it in California.
Oozing charm and culture, Solvang is one of the Central Coast’s most
iconic and beloved towns.
What better way to embrace Solvang’s character than honoring its
Danish heritage with an annual cultural celebration from September
20-22. Commemorating its 1911 establishment by Danish-Americans,
this year’s Solvang Danish Days festivities offer a mix of traditional and
modern cultural practices.
Solvang Danish Days promises fun for all ages! Adults and children alike
will delight in the parades, outdoor concerts, folk dancing
performances, Hans Christian Andersen storytime sessions, and a Lego
Building Competition! And how could we forget the delectable
Aebleskiver Breakfasts?
Also be sure to check out the Viking Beer and Wine garden (for ages 21
and older), a guided Solvang Food & Photo Tour, and an Old World
artisanal crafts marketplace.
Looking for an authentic Danish experience? How about something a
tad more immersive? Curious about the Viking lifestyle? Look no
further than the “Dane For A Day” bundle package, where you can live
like a Viking for the entire weekend!
While general admission and the outdoor concerts are free, a few
events, including the “Dane for a Day” package, require online ticket
purchases prior to the festival. Those wishing to enjoy the Aebleskiver
Breakfasts may also purchase tickets online at

stash!) and join in a weekend of endless fun and celebration! Please
