I just spoke with Rick this morning, Solvang 2016 is September 24. The drive from San Jose to Solvang is one of my favorite things in the entire world.

Solvang is one show my wife loves to go to. She gets to tour the Mission and she loves all the sweets from the bakeries in town. So it's a win win for both of us.

X2. Besides the aforementioned places, the wineries are the big draw for my wife

The Host Hotel is the King Frederick, have stayed there 2-3 times. Nothing fancy but good location and decent pool, etc.

I don't think there is an official event site/etc., but a group leaves Mark Merrill's shop in San Jose early Friday morning. I think Mark's samba name is "qwerty", you could send him a PM.
