TWO MAJOR NEEDS RIGHT NOW

Why choose Us?

Building the Future


​​​​​​​The $4.7 million Capital Campaign for Solvang Festival Theater After almost 50 years, our beloved outdoor theater needs a renewed community investment — to ensure safety, accessibility, and structural integrity — and to enhance audience experience.




​​​​​​​

Why choose Us?

Ongoing Operations


​​​​​​​Enable Solvang Festival Theater to bring more programs and events—live concerts, comedy, children’s programming—to meet the community’s changing needs. Plus, provide a venue for other local nonprofits to raise funds for their own good causes. Even in the best of times, Solvang Festival Theater relies on donations and sponsorships. During the pandemic, we have been unable to augment these funds with ticket sales—your generosity is needed now more than ever.
