Come From Away in Solvang
Solvang Festival Theater — 420 2nd St, Solvang | (805) 686-1789
Thursday to Saturday, June 11-27, 2026
An uplifting, Tony-award-winning musical based on a real story. An average day in the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland becomes a defining moment when 38 planes are suddenly grounded in the small town on September 11, 2001. The population of the remote Gander doubles overnight. But instead of panic, something remarkable happens. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the locals throw open their homes, their bars, and their hearts—proving that compassion can outshine crisis. Based on the true story that moved the world, this Tony Award-winning musical pulses with a driving folk-rock score and unforgettable characters. Come From Away is a powerful, uplifting celebration of human kindness and the community we create when we welcome the unknown.
