Good day on this partly cloudy Friday.
If you’re looking for an excuse to bust out that Viking helmet sitting in the back of your closet, the Nordic Fire Festival, a brand new festival celebrating ancient Scandinavian culture, comes to Charlotte this weekend. The festival kicks off today with a torch processional and ship burning, fire dancers, food and music and continues Saturday with a full day of family-friendly activities, including costume, horn-blowing and hammer-throwing contests.
