⚔️ Berserk: A Viking Festival for All—epic battles, crafts, music & Nordic food. Step into Norse legend—fun for all ages!
Sharpen your axes and gather your clan—BERSERK, our epic Viking festival, is storming back into town on Saturday, September 26th!
TWO Rival Viking Encampments will take over the front lawn—witness warriors crafting tools of the past, playing traditional Viking games, and clashing in combat demonstrations throughout the day. It all leads up to an all-out battle to the “death” at 2PM—you won’t want to miss it!
ON THE LAWN:
- Viking Encampments Step into the world of Norse warriors—explore daily life, tools, and traditions in our rival camps.
- Crafts, Games & Warrior Training Fun for all ages—test your skills, train like a Viking, and unleash your inner shield-maiden or berserker!
- Stone Lifting with the New England Stone Lifters Think you’ve got Viking strength? Step up and try your hand at lifting legendary stones—glory (and bragging rights) await!
KIDS’ CORNER:
- Rune-Making Station Create your own Viking message in ancient runes—mystical, magical, and yours to take home!
- Weaving Station Try your hand at traditional weaving and craft something colorful, cozy, and uniquely yours.
- Viking Interaction Zone Meet the Vikings! Ask questions, explore gear, and step right into the world of Norse legends.
FEAST-LIKE FJORD-FOLK:
- Waffle Samples & Sandwiches from our beloved Kaffestugan Warm, golden, and impossible to resist—come taste a Scandinavian favorite.
- Nordic Breads, Prepared Foods, Candies & Scandi Goods Stock up on sweet, savory, and everything in between—your Nordic pantry starts here.
- Icelandic Hot Dogs from Gunner’s Icelandic Hot Dogs A true Reykjavík street food classic—juicy hot dogs piled high with crispy onions, sweet brown mustard, remoulade, and more. One bite and you’ll understand the hype.
Prepare your shield, don your cloak, and get ready to go BERSERK!
Saturday, September 26th 11am – 3pm
Adults $20 in advance ($25 day of), Kids 12 & under $10 ($15 day of)
