Month: September 2017

The pot belly pig was back in the parade this year as it celebrated 25 years as a company.

And Herbie made an appearance down Mission Drive.

As well as the horse drawn carriage that takes people around the city daily for a small fee.

This year’s Danish Maid, Gabrielle Heron holds tradition as her mother, sister and cousin were all previous Danish maids and her gown was especially designed after her mother’s.

Vikings were in the house as always with their ship rolling down main street.

And this year’s grand marshal was one of the original founders of Solvang Petti Pfau.

There was even more to see in the Artisian Marketplace from 10-4.

Iron knitting to create beautiful jewelry.

And handpainted fans and bookshelf were also sold at the maketplace.

And heading the parade celebrating, “How Sweet it is.”, the color guard carried both the California Flag and the Danish one down Mission Drive.

In the Viking Encampment visitors could see just how the Vikings lived.

And children got to see the weapons that they used as well.
