I was asked if there were Icelandic days in Ireland. Not, but there are several viking festivals.

We have 20 authentic Danish Vikings coming over to recreate what their forefathers once did however this time the Irish will put up a better fight.

Race down the river in an authentic Viking ship, 10 people per boat - limited places available!

Discover how the Vikings lived with guided tours of the village by local experts.

An authentic Viking village will be created with crafts, foods, drinks, weaponry and the general Viking way of life on display.

There will be a feast of music from both cultures with
traditional Irish music, modern local bands and traditional
Danish folk.

Annagassan is lucky to have many craftspeople in the area and also quality food producers who will set up their very own village to showcase and sell their products.

Apart from the Viking boat races we will also have Kayaking, Kite surfing and Scuba diving in the harbour area.

This is a dog show with a difference. The only entrants will be Irish Wolfhounds and Great Danes and we hope to break the world record for the tallest dog!
