The Crow Wing Viking Festival

 The family-friendly Viking Festival features Viking-age crafts, costumes, weapons, mock battles, music, and games.  The event strives to be authentic to the Viking age with the slogan, “Real Vikings. No Horns.”  The popular conception of horned helmets originated with artists and an opera costume designer during the 19th century.  Festival-goers will be able to see and try on replicas of actual Viking helmets. 
The Crow Wing Viking Festival is family friendly!  Admission is capped $35 for a family*.  Individual adult admission is $15, ages 6 to 17 is $5 and 5 and under are free.  Battle reenactments are historically realistic but still appropriate for all.
Tickets are available online and also at the gate.  Parking is free.  Gates open at 9:30 and events run from 10 to 4.
Food will be available on-site.  We also anticipate offering coupons for off-site restaurants.
