The Viking village under the walls of Cusago Castle
Vikinga Fest is a historical reenactment dedicated to the world of the Vikings, held in Cusago, a small municipality in the province of Milan famous for its elegant Visconti Castle overlooking the central square. For two days, the area around the castle, along Via Cisliano, transforms into an authentic Nordic village populated by warriors, artisans, and falconers.
The festival offers a packed program of activities: historical encampments to visit, armored combat, an archery range with demonstrations, falconry exhibitions with birds of prey, and in-depth conferences on Viking civilization and culture. In the evening, the scene comes alive with captivating fire shows, while music accompanies the entire event.
Designed for all ages, Vikinga Fest combines the educational aspect of historical reenactment with pure entertainment. The backdrop of Cusago Castle, one of the favorite hunting lodges of the Visconti and Sforza families in the Duchy of Milan, makes the event even more spectacular. The gastronomic area with food and drink stands completes the day.
The event is organized by Hello Eventi, with free admission, and has quickly established itself as one of the most anticipated events in the Cusago calendar.
The third edition of Vikinga Fest enlivens the village of Cusago on the weekend of June 6th and 7th, 2026. At the foot of the Visconti Castle, along Via Cisliano, an authentic Viking village comes to life, open from 10:00 AM to midnight on both days. Historical encampments, armored warriors, artisans, and falconers welcome visitors in a meticulously detailed Nordic atmosphere.
The festival's soundtrack is provided by the band Castigamatt, with the main concert on Saturday at 9:00 PM and itinerant performances throughout the village on Sunday.
Cusago is just a few kilometers from the Milan West ring road (exit towards Cusago/Cisliano). It is connected to Milan by intercity bus lines. The Viking village is located along Via Cisliano, at the foot of the Castle.
The event is open from 10:00 AM to midnight on both days. Free admission.
