If you are interested in participating you must select the appropriate box in the application and have your setup complete by 4p.m. on Friday. There is no additional charge.
THE VIKING MARKET
For our 2024 festival, we are creating a Viking Market that is an option for any vendor who sells primarily items that are replicas or inspired designs from the Viking Age. Items such as drinking horns, chain mail, tablet weaving, Viking style wood work, Viking jewelry and clothing, Norse mythology items, Mediaeval Crosses, or traditional Celtic/Viking designed items etc.
Vendors in the Viking Market will be located together next to the Fjellborg Living History Encampment. Vendors are required to have their own tent, preferably a Viking or Mediaeval style tent or a regular 10’ x 10’ or 10’ x 20’ tent that is decorated in Viking style. All Viking Market vendors and their staff are required to dress in Viking style attire during festival hours. All Viking Market participants are considered regular vendors. The standard vendor fees and requirements still apply and there is no additional charge. COME HUSTLE LIKE A VIKING!
Cultural Organizations
We are offering discounts to those that are prepared to share their cultural events, projects, programs, and activities with festival visitors. These special Cultural Booths are not allowed to sell wares, must be present in their booth the entire festival, and must have information or activities that engage with the public.
