Hundreds of Calgarians are taking a trip through time this weekend.
From Viking raids to medieval duels, it's all on the game plan at the Summer Skirmish.
Weapons, armour and battle re-enactments spanning close to 2,000 years are being brought back to life at the Military Museums Summer Skirmish.
"This is a fantastic way for people to come out and see firsthand very realistic recreations of Viking warfare, knights, medieval swordsmen, black powder era, World War One, World War Two, and even the golden west," said Military Museums manager David Peabody.
"We have the guns of the golden west with us today."
Also taking part in the skirmish is the Lord Strathcona's horse troupe, which includes active service members like corporal Michael Salvador.
