2025 Northwest Viking Market!

What is the dress code for guests coming to the Northwest Viking Market? Pretty much whatever they want! There is no requirement for what type of clothing people wear to the event (as long as it’s legal, anyway). For those who want to get into the theme, though, we’re happy to provide recommendations.

Via the link below you can find our Villager Standards document. This is the level of historical clothing that we have asked our villagers to meet, and which we would encourage for those who would like to dress for the theme. And while there are a multitude of patterns, materials and even ready-made items available online, feel free to reach out for more information!

Lastly, to preserve the type of positive and educational atmosphere that we’re aiming for, we would appreciate if guests refrain from wearing clothing with political messages or other such themes. Any clothing with hate speech, etc. on it will result in the wearer being asked to leave.

We’re looking forward to creating a fun and immersive experience for our guests and participants, and we encourage everyone who wants to add to that atmosphere to do so!

A NEW TYPE OF VIKING FESTIVAL IS COMING TO THE PNW!

Hello Friends!

We’ve been working on some exciting things behind the scenes, and now we can finally start spreading the news!

Next October we will be following through on our long-time goal of putting on a high quality viking market here in the Pacific Northwest!


The market will take place October 12th & 13th, 2024 and will be hosted by Dragon’s Gate Brewery in Milton-Freewater, Oregon just south of Walla Walla, Washington. It will feature merchants with historical reproduction wares, demonstrations of crafts and daily life, steel fighting demonstrations with historical weapons and armor and more. Plus, food and a beer garden!


Merchant & demonstrator applications and other materials will be published soon. Stay tuned for more information!
