Town of Viking

Town of Viking

The Town of Viking is located Southeast of Vegreville. Head east on Highway 16 and then south on Highway 36 and you will come across the charming town of Viking, Alberta.

Viking museum is one of the best in the area. It is a 1921 hospital which has been completely redone so that every room is a different time period. Another historical element of the Viking area is the Ribstones. They are native carvings in stone from more than 1,000 years ago.

If you would like more of a recreational element, Viking has that too! A nine-hole golf course with grass green can be used for your liking, or you can use the facilities that Viking has for baseball and soccer.

Cloverlodge Stampede

Organizers with the Cloverlodge Stampede Association were forced to cancel the 2020 edition of the rodeo because of COVID-19, but are hoping to see fans back in the stands for the 2021 edition next spring.

The rodeo is both Lakeland Rodeo Association and Wildrose and Foothills approved and all major events include: bareback, novice horse, saddle bronc, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, bull riding as well as pee wee, junior and ladies barrel racing.

Family events will include pancake breakfast, Christian Cowboy Church service, bicycle foot race, Stick horse race, children’s activities & money pit, and fireworks on Saturday night! Come on to Viking to enjoy the cowboys/girls and the outstanding livestock from Miller Stock Contracting. Outstanding rodeo entertainment for everyone! Events all weekend long!

The Cloverlodge Stampede grounds are located in the Northeast corner of the Town of Viking, just north of the Golf Course. There is lots of room for free camping.
