Didn’t Christmas go by quickly?

Tonight, California’s Danish village of Solvang ushers it out with a special community event.

They’re wrapping up their month-long “Julefest” with a “Tree Burn Fire Safety Demonstration”.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department supervises the demonstration.  Free live entertainment will be featured, and refreshments are available for purchase.

As one of the largest community gatherings and fire safety demonstrations, Solvang’s “Christmas Tree Burn Fire Safety Demonstration” marks the end of 2019 Julefest–and the start of a new year.

It’s low-key, community-oriented and the final “button” on Solvang’s 2019 Julefest celebration.  Then–planning for 2020 Julefest starts!

Come join them if you’re in the area, to see out Christmas 2019, and Solvang wishes you a Happy–and safe–New Year!

Solvang’s “Tree Burn Fire Safety Demonstration” happens this evening, Friday, January 3, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the empty fields at Old Mission Santa Ines,  1760 Mission Drive (east of Mariposa) in Solvang.  This is a free community event.
