Step into the Saga: Village Viking Festival 2026
Join us May 1–3, 2026, at the Great Geauga County Fairgrounds in Burton, Ohio, for the next chapter of the Village Viking Festival — a living, breathing tribute to Norse history and culture.

Relive the excitement of last year’s epic celebration, where Viking reenactors clashed in thrilling combat, axe-throwing challenges tested your aim, and a fully functional Viking village and longship brought the past to life. Village Viking Fest+2Village Viking Fest+2
