The 2025 Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, organized by the Scandinavian Alliance of Colorado, is held in the heart of historic Golden’s downtown shopping district.

PLEASE READ!!!
As Civic Green Park is a very busy public park, the earliest time that you may set up is at 4:00pm on Friday, June 27. There is a specific drive-up, un-load your gear, and drive-out and park system that the Park employs. You will drive up to the load-in dock, unload your items, and our staff will take them to your spot. There are ramps all around the Park, so if you’d like to park just on the street by the park and unload yourself, then there are wide rams for you to use a cart to bring your stuff to your cart. We will send you very specific information about this process in an upcoming email.
THE VIKING MARKET
For our 2025 festival, we are creating a Viking Market that is an option for any vendor who sells primarily items that are replicas or inspired designs from the Viking Age. Items such as drinking horns, chain mail, tablet weaving, Viking style wood work, Viking jewelry and clothing, Norse mythology items, Mediaeval Crosses, or traditional Celtic/Viking designed items etc.
Vendors in the Viking Market will be located together next to the Fjellborg Living History Encampment. Vendors are required to have their own tent, preferably a Viking or Mediaeval style tent or a regular 10’ x 10’ or 10’ x 20’ tent that is decorated in Viking style. All Viking Market vendors and their staff are required to dress in Viking style attire during festival hours. All Viking Market participants are considered regular vendors. The standard vendor fees and requirements still apply and there is no additional charge. COME HUSTLE LIKE A VIKING!
