They still do the Leif Ericsson parade in Brooklyn every year - Brooklyn NY had a large Norwegian population up through the 1970s.

The Sons of Norway has a Viking ship replica. They used to sail it down the Wrangell Narrows with the kids. Liability issues put an end to that. Now they have it on a trailer in the parade.
