Hundreds of people have portrayed a squad of Vikings - they dress in skins with horned helmets and chain mail. During the procession the terrorists are a model Viking ship, size 30 feet to the river - the place of its ritual burning. Bringing the ship to the shore, they kindle the fire and throw a gigantic ship 900 fiery torches. Burning ship symbolizes the barbarian rituals - this way the Scandinavian warriors buried their comrades who died on the battlefield. After burning Drakkar participants of the event are sent to the local town hall, where the theatrical performances and traditional songs sound. Ends with the celebration a grand party with music and dancing, which continued until morning.
