An annual Viking-age reenactment market in Vetlanda, Sweden, organized by the local history group Emådalens Vikingar. Held each May at Kvarndammsparken, the festival recreates a Viking village with traditional crafts, combat demonstrations, music and food 1 2. For example, the 2025 edition offered iron- and wood-working demonstrations and invited visitors to experience Viking-era life through crafts, games and performances 1 2.
The festival immerses visitors in regional Viking heritage and Småland identity. It serves both educational and community purposes: local schoolchildren participate in a Friday program, then the public joins a weekend of historical crafts and performances. This fosters community pride and awareness of local pre-Christian traditions 1 2.
