The Viking Charities Classic Car Show is set for Saturday, October 7th, 2023, in downtown Solvang. It will follow the same format as Wheels “N ‘Windmills but be held in October. All proceeds will benefit the Viking of Solvang charities.

Solvang Park (corner of Mission Drive and First Street). The Tree Lighting Ceremony is slated to include ballerinas encircling the Solvang Christmas tree, live entertainment, caroling and of course, the tree lighting.

Join the fun of the jubilant Solvang Julefest Parade. It’s one of the most anticipated seasonal events in Solvang. After a hearty Danish breakfast, get a good viewing spot on Copenhagen Drive or Mission Drive. Behold the display of dancers, holiday floats, horses, marching bands, and more.

Over 400 participants representing 50 groups march and make their way through the Solvang streets. It’s a great way to bring more hygge (Danish coziness) to your holiday celebration.

Usually held in early January as a wrap-up of the month-long Solvang Julefest celebration, Solvang’s Tree Burn is considered to be one of the largest fire safety demonstrations along the California Central Coast. The 2024 Tree Burn is currently scheduled for Friday, January 5 (weather permitting).
