Ullr Fest

Date Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025

Mythology meets modern tradition as we gather to pay respects to Ullr, the Norse god of winter, in anticipation of another great season of skiing and snowboarding. Music with DJ Elbow Knee Knee starts at 6pm, with a bonfire and solo stoves burning all night. This is a family friendly, all ages event. There is no cover charge, and parking is free. The beer shack will be open on the back deck for spectators, along with the bar inside.
