The annual Largs Viking Festival gets underway on 1st of September and lasts until 9th September. This is the 38th year of the event which has grown in popularity and received international acclaim. As well as a Viking Village providing a glimpse of life in the 13th century for Norse warriors, there are a range of activities taking place throughout the nine days. The Festival starts with a parade and opening cermony. Aerial displays, music and dancing will take place during the week. There is also the regular Hakon Hakkonsson Lecture at the Vallhalladarome at the Vikingar.
