In two more days, it will be Twelfth Night. The date when Christmas is officially over.
Exchanging the magic of Christmas for the “everyday” can feel like a letdown.
But Solvang, named one of the “most magical Christmas towns across the world” by Oprah Daily, has one more festive event planned, to wrap up Christmas season 2023.
Tomorrow evening, January 5th, weather permitting, Solvang hosts their annual “Christmas Tree Burn”.

This is one of the largest fire safety demonstrations along the California Central Coast.
Supervised by the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, this finale to Solvang’s 2023 Julefest celebration is free and features live entertainment. Refreshments will also be available for purchase.
And if you’re local to the Solvang area, you may drop off your tree any time before 4 pm tomorrow, at Old Mission Santa Ines. Please, only “real” trees, (no artificial ones!), no flocking, and be sure to remove the ornaments and tree stands.
Hope you had a great Christmas season, and Happy New Year, as we move forward together!
