The Viking Experience Festival

This application is for Activity Vending only.  Only fill out if you offer the patron something they do. Not for products only.  You can still do an activity and some product vending. 

If you plan to participate both weekends then at the payment option pick "Both" for the 1st weekend and $0 for the second.  Vendor acceptance letters will be sent out by 10/17/2025. Then payment will automatically charge on 10/31/2025.

It is the vendors responsibility to upload a media kit with this application or send it by email in order to be featured in a post.  email:  info@thevikingexperiencenc.com

Vendors can set up on Friday (10am-9pm) or Saturday, check-in by 8:30 am, and be packed up by Monday morning. Those participating in both weekends can stay set up but make sure to take anything valuable.  They should bring their own tents, tables, and chairs. Please note, your vending tent, including ropes, must fit inside the space you purchase.  Payment will include 2 Vendor Weekend Passes per 10x10 purchased.

This is an application for a space in the festival grounds with a period encampment.  All equipment should have a historical look and tents have a canvas appearance from 20 feet away.  Modern supplies should be hidden.  Otherwise your camp should be in the modern camping area.  An encampment must have 2 or more tents.  If you are a single tent contact us directly so you can be included in our Staff Encampment.  If you are Demonstrating then fill out that application. 

Camps should be adding to the event and interacting with the public in some way. Each member of the encampment must have a job adding to the festival. We do not hand out passes for just setting up a period tent.  If you have extra people with no camp job they are welcome to apply as a volunteer to get complementary passes but still stay in your encampment.  

Camps with a gate MUST have a welcome or open sign so patrons know they can enter your space.

This is an application for a space in the festival grounds to do demonstrations using no more than 2 tents or equal space.  The main focus of this space should be to educate the patrons.  This is not an application for a vendor who sells products but demonstrates how they make their product.  If you have more than two tents for your area then fill out the Encampment Application.  The second tent must be period for sleeping in.   Make sure to indicate that in the description below.
