VikingFest · November 13–14, 2026
Trinket Trading
Calling all lovers of shiny things! Bring a few small, thoughtful treasures to give away or swap. The idea is a joyful exchange of little things someone else would be happy to find.
Before you trade
Trading rules
Free and voluntary
No money, tips, donations, advertising, or pressure to participate.
Bring trinkets, not trash
Choose small, intentional items of negligible value that someone else would be happy to receive.
Keep it safe
No food, liquids, sharp items, or anything dangerous, unsanitary, or inappropriate.
Ask a parent or guardian first
Get permission before giving a trinket to a child or trading with them. Keep choking risks in mind.
Respect the vendors
Please don’t ask vendors to trade or take trinkets as payment. Leave anything they sell, or close lookalikes, out of your trading pouch.
Respect the right to refuse
Anyone can decline a trade. Be kind on both sides of the refusal. A simple “no thank you” goes far.
Festival staff may stop trading if it becomes disruptive.
