Artisan Demo Schedule
Minnesota Renaissance Festival artisans are invited to show how their creations come to life.
Look for demos throughout the day, including pottery throwing, painting, jewelry making, glass blowing, and much, much more.
Demonstrations are an important part of our Festival’s craft program, as they provide an opportunity for patrons to interact directly with our artisans.
Come see how our talented artists create such beautiful, diverse, and colorful products to our festival!
