Yule Viking Festival

The Yule Viking Festival is a Norse-themed winter festival held on a 48-acre site in Gladewater, Texas, with camping and RV facilities on the grounds. Entertainment includes Equestrian Chaos, the Adamo Ignis fire and danger show, the Harmless Danger Show, and Celtic music from Celtica Nova, alongside a marketplace of artisans and food vendors. Children's activities fill Skadi's Forest, with traditional Scandinavian Yule tales, craft-making, and Norse skill-building games, and the season includes a ticketed Yule ritual and feast, an adults-only Loki late night, and a burning of the long ship. Youths 6 and under are admitted free, and the festival runs rain or shine.
