The annual Yule celebration is back! Ostgardr invites one and all to join in honoring the Viking holiday of Yule with a grand event filled with warmth, cheer, and spirited competition.
The date is January 11th, 2025 from 10 am to 5 pm at Purgatory
675 Central Ave, Brooklyn, NY, United States, New York
As winter descends, an icy chill grips the land, whispering ominous tales of Fimbulwinter—the long, unrelenting winter prophesied to herald Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods. Darkness grows, spirits waver, and despair creeps into the hearts of even the bravest. Yet, amid the shadows, a spark of hope ignites! With Yule’s light and laughter, the Vikings rally to defy the looming end, decking the halls of Valhalla in a celebration of resilience, unity, and triumph over darkness.
Step into a Valhalla alive with the bustle of games, the wisdom of teachers, and the music of bardic tales by the hearth. Earn coins by testing your skills, learning new arts, and sharing your talents. Gather your treasure, revel in the fellowship of the hall, and compete for glory and prizes before the Yule feast concludes.
Let the halls resound with joy as we stand together against the cold and the night—Deck the Halls of Valhalla awaits you!
