Solvang Danish Days 2026 : Solen over dalen

California’s premier Danish heritage festival, Solvang Danish Days, returns this year with a three-day event line-up, Friday through Sunday, September 18, 19, and 20, 2026. The 2026 Solvang Danish Days theme – “Solen over dalen” (something to the effect of “Sun over the Valley” in Danish) – will be celebrated during this year’s event, which honors the 1911 establishment of Solvang by Danish-Americans. The 2026 edition of Solvang Danish Days marks the 89th return of the beloved, annual cultural affair.

Solvang Danish Days 2026 will continue to offer attendees a total Danish immersion experience while helping to preserve Solvang’s authentic Danish heritage. Danish Days guests looking to “live like Vikings” throughout the event will have the opportunity to purchase a “Dane For A Day” VIP ticket bundle (only available online), while those looking to gain quicker entrance to Saturday’s or Sunday’s Æbleskiver Breakfasts may purchase tickets for the Breakfasts online, in advance.

All advance, online tickets are now available at this link:

More information about Solvang Danish Days, including a brief history of the event, parade applications and complete contact information, is also (or, will be) available.
