Event Information
Description
California’s premier Danish heritage festival, “Solvang Danish Days” (www.solvangdanishdays.org), returns in 2019 to celebrate its 83rd anniversary with a three-day event weekend line-up set for Friday through Sunday, September 20 through 22, 2019. Solvang Danish Days 2019 will once again provide attendees with a total Danish immersion experience while helping to preserve Solvang’s authentic Danish heritage, and will offer a “Dane For A Day” ticket bundle package for guests looking to “live like Vikings” throughout the event weekend.
Solvang Danish Days, which honors the 1911 establishment of Solvang by Danish-Americans, continues to expand upon its varied activities melding more modern Danish practices with traditional ways, yet still exemplifying everything Danish. The weekend’s numerous offerings, encompassing activities for all ages, range from fan-favorite food events surrounding Aebleskiver, the iconic Danish pastry rounds; to a Danish-style beer and wine garden serving Danish import, Carlsberg beer, alongside local brews and wines; to a historical reenactment in the form of a Viking Encampment; to an axe throwing arena (NEW for 2019!); a guided Solvang Food & Photo Tour (also NEW!); restaurant and bar promotions scattered about the town, and an Old World artisanal crafts marketplace.
General admission to Solvang Danish Days is free* and entertainment options abound during the weekend with three parades, folk dancers and Danish musicians performing in spots all over town, plus FREE outdoor concerts in downtown Solvang.
Solvang Danish Days also aims to please the next generation of Danish Days fans with multiple pass-times, including a “Kid’s Korner” in Solvang Park featuring LEGO®.

Organizer Solvang Danish Days Foundation
Organizer of Solvang Danish Days 2019
In early 1995, the Solvang City Council approached Santa Ynez Valley residents from long-established, local Danish families and other interested groups, and recommended setting up a non-profit foundation – Solvang Danish Days Foundation – to formally plan and organize the increasingly popular, annual Danish Days festivities. The original Solvang Danish Days Foundation board members were Ken Andersen, Brenda Anderson, Hans Birkholm, Max Hanberg, Howard Petersen, David Rasmussen and Henry Skytt. The Foundation members meet throughout the year to ready each year’s celebration. Donations and volunteers for the event, are always welcome; please contact the Foundation for more information.
