Ullr Fest 2024
Join the local party and show your devotion to the God of Snow - the legendary Ullr, at Ullr Fest 2024 this December 12-14 in Breckenridge!
Ullr has been an infamous character around Breckenridge since Breckenridge Ski Resort was founded in 1961. You’ve probably noticed his 25-foot metal statue on Peak 8 and heard his name around town. Ullr, the Norse God of Snow, was brought to Breck by the two Norwegian friends who founded the resort. Known for his incredible archery and skiing skills, Ullr would travel the land on skis, hunting with his bow. Every winter, Ullr would cover the earth in snow to protect it from harm. Ullr Fest was born as a celebration of the fresh powder and good winter tidings Ullr brings to Breckenridge each year. Grab your Viking hat and join us at the 61st annual Ullr Fest, December 12 - 14, for the Main Street parade, be part of the quest for the unofficial world record for longest Shotski®, and watch the impressive Ullr Bonfire! Who Is Ullr?
