This year's Midwest Viking Festival will happen, but we are asking for your help. Our grant money has ended and we are raising money to keep the festival free and open to all. The festival is expensive to host and a collective of reenactors is stepping up to help! On Sep. 13, they will host a feast! Viking crafters, musical entertainment, and craft beer by local brewery Noble Roots. $35 for an adult ticket, $60 for a couple, and $15 for kids (15 and under).
