Visitors are enthralled by the magnificent VikingsCon Renaissance Festival, which takes place at Maryland's Charles County Fairgrounds. VikingsCon is all about the medieval vibe, thematic costumes, and new friends. So, let's get into the ins and outs of it!
Events and Activities
VikingsCon offers a captivating journey into the realm of Vikings and Renaissance culture with its immersive experience and rich historical setting. The event gathers fans, entertainers, and artists who capture the essence of medieval beauty. Participants can get dizzy in a world of battles, medieval markets, and a lush draw of activities, such as live musical performances and theatrical acts.
Festival guests can watch re-enactors shows as they demonstrate everyday activities from the Viking era. Viking fans are invited to an overnight camping experience at VikingsCon with our Ragnarok Encampment pass. However, visitors must buy a ticket in advance in order to get camping space, so they also must bring their own tent and supplies.
But all interesting events don't end there! Transport back to Viking Age Scandinavia and immerse yourself in the tastes, ingredients, and cooking techniques of the time. Daniel Serra, culinary archaeologist and co-author of "An Early Meal, a Viking Age Cookbook & Culinary Odyssey," through the use of experimental archaeology and written records, meticulously recreates a culinary experience true to the Viking Age.
