California’s premier Danish heritage festival, “Solvang Danish Days”, returns in 2019 to celebrate its 83rd anniversary with an event 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.

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 festival’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, wines and festival eats; to a historical reenactment in the form of a Viking Encampment in Solvang Park; to interactive history lessons at the Elverhoj Museum of History & Art; 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.
