Welcome to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, where an encounter with an enchanted fairy, magical mermaid or mythical creature is expected as you interact with our cast of characters, take in a show at one of our 16 stages, view the live armored, combat joust, dine on all of the flavorful food that you fancy, test your axe throwing skills, brave a ride or shop to your heart’s desire.
The Festival grounds can be overwhelming to Minnesota Renaissance Festival First Timers, so we’ve put our best tips together so you can plan your exciting Renaissance Festival experience based on your interests and the those you are visiting our kingdom with.
