Viking Fest
Whitestown’s 2025 Viking Fest, presented by TDS, will take place on April 25-27 at Anson Acres Park. There will be Viking-themed reenactors in full garb swinging their weapons, multiple Viking villages, stage entertainment, artisans selling crafted items, food, mead, inflatables, and more! Strong men and women can participate in the Keg Toss competition, while the strong young Vikings can participate in an Iron Skillet toss competition. Prizes will be awarded to each age group. Inflatables will close at dark on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
Ticket information:
Tickets are $7 each in advance or $10 each at the gate. Children 2 and under are free. Each purchased ticket is good for any single event date. If you would like to attend on 2 different days, you would need to purchase 2 separate tickets.
Upon entry, each patron will be given a wristband that is valid for that day only. These wristbands will allow patrons to freely enter and exit the festival each day and be used for reentry if closed for severe weather. Tickets are non-refundable but transferrable. All purchased tickets will be valid for a rescheduled event date. In the unlikely event the festival is canceled completely for 2025, all tickets will then be refunded immediately, in full. We are a rain-or-shine event, but we do evacuate for severe weather.
Purchase tickets online in advance, to reserve your spot and for fast and easy entry into the event. Tickets can also be purchased on-site with only a card.
