The sparkling start to Solvang’s holiday season begins with the Solvang Julefest Tree Lighting Ceremony, taking place on Friday, December 4, 2026, at 5:30 PM in Solvang Park located at 1630 Mission Drive.

This cherished community tradition will once again feature festive ballet performances by Fossemalle Dance Studio, live entertainment and caroling, culminating with the lighting of the tree and a park-wide light as the ballerinas encircle the tree to illuminate the heart of Solvang with holiday magic.
