Viking Fest

Calendar/Event Details

Fri, May 15, 2026
Sun, May 17, 2026

Rooted in Poulsbo's rich Scandinavian history, Viking Fest is an annual community celebration held every third weekend in May. Each year, "Little Norway on the Fjord" welcomes thousands of visitors to enjoy a festive parade, a lively carnival and street fair, and the timeless spirit of Norse tradition — all set against the stunning backdrop of Liberty Bay.

During Viking Fest there will be live performances throughout the day, and Saturday night there will be a street dance on Front Street.

Entertainment is performed in the Austin-Kvelstad Pavilion in the waterfront park unless otherwise noted.
