BE A Viking

October 10-11 and 17-18, 2026
at Dakota County Fairgrounds (30 min from Minneapolis / St Paul)

Welcome to Viking Fest Minnesota—a bold new celebration of Viking heritage, Norse mythology, and living history. Held over two immersive weekends in October 2026, we invite you to step into the world of the Vikings with live combat, roaring feasts, artisan crafts, and hands-on experiences for all ages. Festival hours (with the exception of our Viking After Party Ragnarök) are from 10am-6pm.

Whether you’re a hardened warrior, a curious skald, or a family seeking epic adventure, this is your chance to BE a Viking.
