On Saturday, October 2nd, Vikings from near and far will gather and raise an encampment on the UW-Green Bay Viking House grounds (near Wood Hall) on the Green Bay Campus.
Viking festivals are celebrations of Scandinavian history and culture.
This year’s event will be hosted in honor and memory of Viking storyteller Adrian Spendlow, who passed away this past year. He was the husband of UW-Green Bay Professor Heidi Sherman.
The Green Bay Viking Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is open to the public and free to attend.
This festival will have live battle reenactments, singing and storytelling, and dance lessons from Viking sorceress Kari Tauring. In addition, there will be games and activities for the kids and guided tours of the Viking House by its original owners, Owen and Elspeth Christianson.
