The festival lasts for 8 days and here are many options when it comes to accommodation, for example you can sleep in a Royal Beer Can, on a delicious pigsty or in a shoebox - but of course there is also the opportunity to bring your very own tent!

We have to go all the way back to 1899, to trace the start of the Silkeborg Regatta. For this event, Silkeborg will be decorated for parties and events, with colored lamps and torches. There will be a wealth of experiences set in motion so that the city can gather for a big folk festival, and there will be music scenes with exciting artists, wonderful food stalls and illuminated boats. 

Water, light and fire are the focus of the Regatta. There will therefore also be a fantastic fireworks show!

Moesgaard Vikingetræf

People from both home and abroad gather here to commemorate the Viking Age, with role-playing games, the authentic Viking clothes and a wealth of activities that take you all the way back to the old days!

The Viking meeting takes place as a well-functioning Viking town with 600 warriors and family, 70 stalls and 65 horses and their riders, who for a week live as they did in the Viking Age, and it therefore does not come close to an authentic Viking experience!
