The Leif Erikson Festival returns to Norway annually the second Saturday in October as our town's premier fall tradition. What began in 1992 has evolved into a full day of celebrations. Leif's Run starts at 9 AM with a competitive 5K and 10K and a festive two-mile run/walk for families. 

​

Live music echoes from the bandshell and live demonstrations will happen all day celebrating flavors from Norway and beyond and traditional craftsmanship. 

​

We will crown Miss Norway and have our parade midday. Most activities wind down around 4 PM so guests can explore local restaurants. Then we reconvene at 7 PM at Strawberry Lake for the Viking funeral ceremony. 

​
