Experience live steel combat, archery, artisan crafts, historical demonstrations, music, storytelling, and a bustling Viking marketplace. Meet skilled reenactors, explore interactive encampments, and learn authentic Norse skills from expert guests. Saturday evening, the celebration continues with A Night in Valhalla — a 21+ after-dark gathering in the Mead Hall with music, mead, and immersive Viking entertainment. Whether you come in full kit or as a curious visitor, you’ll find a welcoming community celebrating Norse heritage and living history.
