Celebrate Ullr Fest in Breckenridge: Snow, Shenanigans, and Serious Fun!

Dust off your Viking helmet and stretch out those arms—you’ll need them to catch the snow (or a flying marshmallow) at this year’s Ullr Fest, December 12-14, 2024! Breckenridge’s favorite winter bash is back, honoring Ullr, the Norse God of Snow, with just the right mix of charm, chaos, and sub-zero fun.

What’s the Big Deal About Ullr Fest?

Let’s be honest: where else can you see a parade float made out of skis or people dressed like Vikings tossing snowballs at each other? Ullr Fest is a little wild, a lot festive, and totally unique to Breckenridge. Here’s what’s in store:

1. The Legendary Ullr Parade:
   Think marching bands, creative floats, and locals in Viking horns. Expect the unexpected—rumor has it someone may parade with a snow blower strapped to a sled.

2. The Bonfire That Can Melt Your Frostbitten Toes:
   This isn’t your average backyard fire pit. Ullr’s bonfire is so big it could roast marshmallows for the entire state of Colorado. Just don’t stand too close unless you like your eyebrows singed.

3. The World’s Snowiest World Records:
   Every year, Ullr Fest gets a little crazier with its record-breaking attempts. Whether it’s a conga line of skis or a synchronized Viking “cheers,” you never know what headline-grabbing stunt awaits.

4. Family Fun That Even Teenagers Will Smile At:
   Sledding, ice skating, and the kind of carnival snacks that make you feel like a kid again. (Yes, you can eat a funnel cake while wearing a Viking helmet. No judgment.)

Why You Need to Be There

Because winter is long, and this is the most fun you’ll have in snow pants all season. Ullr Fest is where “let it snow” meets “hold my beer” in the best way possible.
