We’re thrilled to share that Solvang has been nominated in two categories for the 2026 USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards:
✨ Best Small Town in the West
✨ Best Small Town Food Scene — and we want your vote!
Last year, our community came together and delivered amazing results — Solvang was voted #1 Best Small Town in the West and also finished Top Five for Best Small Town Food Scene!
Now it’s time to raise the bar even higher. With your daily votes through March 30, we can come together once again and celebrate the small-town spirit, vibrant downtown, and incredible culinary scene that make Solvang so special.
👉 Vote once per day in each category and encourage friends and family to do the same!
