The Solvang Danish Days Foundation is currently accepting applications for the 2025 Danish Maid position. Applicants must submit a letter expressing their interest, which should include details about their Danish family history, any previous participation in Danish Days, and what representing the festival as Danish Maid means to them.
Candidates must be committed to participating in the entire Danish Days weekend and three local parades: the Fourth of July parade, Julefest in early December, and the Danish Days weekend itself. Preference will be given to candidates who will be high school seniors during the fall of 2025, although this is not a strict requirement.
