The Viking Festival

Every year in June, we invite you to the largest Viking festival in Western Norway at the Viking farm at Avaldsnes.

The Viking festival is packed with experiences for both young and old. Over 200 Vikings from Norway and Europe give visitors an authentic insight into the Viking Age. The large market of sales of handicrafts, food, tastings, and music is there for your senses. Historical surroundings, with reconstructed buildings from the Viking Age, set a nice frame and a lovely atmosphere around the event. This is a meeting place for friendship and cultural development.

In the various tents, work is being done on traditional crafts and the sale of self-produced goods. Watch the blacksmith at work, listen to Viking music, or try different activities like archery, horseback riding, juggling, or theater - all to the delightful scent of Viking food.

Welcome!
