Step into a festive storybook this holiday season as we travel to Solvang — California’s enchanting “Little Denmark” tucked into the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley. With its timber-framed facades, ornate windmills, glowing gas lanterns, and cobblestone lanes, Solvang looks and feels as though it leapt straight from the pages of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, especially during the holidays when it earns its reputation as one of the most “Christmassy Small Towns in America.” The town comes alive throughout its month-long Julefest (pronounced Yule-fest) celebration, and our visit is timed for one of its most festive highlights: the annual Solvang Julefest Parade! Held today only, this heartwarming small-town spectacle features more than 400 spirited participants and 50 contingents—including festive equestrians, lively marching bands, car clubs, and community groups winding through the garland-draped village streets. Enjoy approximately four hours at leisure to soak in the holiday charm and enjoy lunch on your own at one of the village's cozy cafes, wine-tasting rooms, or traditional smorgasbords. Solvang is exceptionally walkable and brimming with delights including 100 one-of-a-kind boutiques, European import shops, and artisan galleries and authentic Danish bakeries selling fresh-made aebleskivers, crisp butter cookies, and flaky fruit kringles! History and culture buffs can also explore local museums (individual admission may apply), including historic Old Mission Santa Inés, the Hans Christian Andersen Museum, the Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum, and the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art, which honors Solvang's rich Danish heritage.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
