A Viking Community Festival
Gormánuður is a New Jersey local community festival sponsored by Vasa Park in partnership with Medieval Scenarios and Recreations, Inc. We seek to bring Viking and medieval history to the community through a fun engaging environment that is accessible and welcoming to all.
We are a public family-friendly event run by passionate volunteers. It takes a village! We always welcome volunteers.
Gormánuður translates into the Month of "Slaughter." It was considered to be the first month of winter in the old Norse calendar. It was a time filled of earthly celebration and hunt! Come join us at the Vasa grounds, and spend a weekend trying unique ales and brews, throw axes, spar with fellow vikings, see live musicians, learn ancient techniques and much more!
