Nope! All performances, craft activities, demonstrations, presentations, etc. are included in the entrance fee to the festival. You can enjoy everything from the craft demonstrations to the folk music to the viking encampment at no additional cost.

Very! We typically have a large number of families and participants of all ages. We have a Barn Klubb (Swedish for 'Kids' Klubb) with several kid friendly activities, including crafts, demonstrations, music, comedy, educational viking re-enactments, and a passport activity. Plus, children age 10 and under get festival admission for free.

There is even a $50 price maximum for families with children. Adult tickets are $15/each and children over age 10 are $10/each, so with our family price maximum, each additional child after the first two is admitted for free. 

For example, if you are a family with two adults and 3 kids over age 10, your tickets are $50 total . If you are a family with one adult and 5 kids over age 10, your tickets are $50 total. If you are a family with 2 adults and 8 kids over the age of 10, you're heroes and your tickets are $50 total.

Meal tickets are how you can taste all sorts of different Scandinavian foods from the cultural clubs. Tickets are $1 each and can be purchased at the festival. Cash will NOT be accepted for food, however, cash is accepted by our vendors and for other items at the festival!

No worries! You can return your leftover food tickets for a refund at one of the two food ticket tables. Otherwise, you can donate your leftover meal tickets... Or use them to get a few treats to go!

The NCC is a non-profit organization that is run by volunteers and funded entirely by events like the festival, donations, and the occasional grant. Credit and debit card companies charge a percentage fee for each transaction, which adds up quickly for a non-profit with tight margin.

In order to keep funding the club and putting on great events like the festival, the NCC charges an additional 4.25% for card transactions to cover this additional cost. This additional cost does not fully cover the transaction fees, however, the NCC covers the rest of the charge in an attempt to provide enriching experiences and items at an affordable price point.

Yes! The Hjemkomst Center has an ATM available for public use on the first floor to the left of the entrance by the coat room.

We encourage bringing cash or using the ATM for transactions; this will allow you to avoid the card charge!

Yes, there are several gluten free options available in the food court. Please see the menus listed above for more details on what is available at each table.
