Aebelskivers, Danish Dancers & All The Works

 

 

Solvang’s annual celebration of its Danish heritage is set to kick off Sept. 22 – 23. This year’s theme “Solvang: Can You Remember When,” is taking it back to the good old days.

 

“I am absolutely excited about the coming Danish Days,” said Rodney A. Nielsen. “We’re in full swing here. I am excited to carry on our Danish tradition and I look forward to the celebration.”

 

This year they are going to have more artisans coming along with the regular festivities, such as the Torchlight Parade and Danish Breakfasts, which will be served all three days.

 

“I will be welcoming and helping out in the festivities and then I will be going over to the Elverhoj Museum, where I will be turning Aebleskivers,” said Kristine Hanberg, the 2007 Danish Day’s Maid.

 

The celebration will feature activities for all ages, including a chainsaw carver, Danish Dancers and a concert in the park by Jonathan Wild.
