Annual Viking Fest returns to full form
The Scandinavian East Coast Museum (SECM) hosted its annual Viking Fest in Owl’s Head Park on Saturday, May 14, a day before the neighborhood’s Norwegian Day Parade.
Last year, the event was delayed until June and could only feature performers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, organizers were able to add food, games, rides and re-enactors to the fun.
“The most telling info I received was when a friend reached out to see if the Viking Fest would be back,” said SECM President Victoria Hofmo of this year’s fest. “She added that she has her daughter’s birthday party the day of the event because we provide so many fun things for them to enjoy. Best of all, the community came back and we could share our Scandinavian history and culture with them.”
