Ren Fest in full swing!

King Henry and his royal court invite one and all to his 16th Century European village featuring 16 stages of exciting entertainment. We had the opportunity to speak with Jim Cunningham, who has been with the Festival for a long time.

The Renaissance Festival is currently in progress with so much fun and excitement in store for you and your family.

Ren Fest has been one of the most popular events in Minnesota for the longest of times, and Jim Cunningham was very excited to talk to us about this event.

Over 250 artisans fill the Festival marketplace to display and sell their handcrafted wares for a truly unique shopping experience. Jim Cunningham was asked about those artisans and performers, and how they become involved in the Ren Fest.

Patrons can interact with hundreds of memorable characters roaming the village streets as well as view live armored jousting throughout the day. Many attendees love to dress-up themselves and immerse themselves in the fantasy world.

So where can someone get a ticket?

Jim Cunningham was then asked about what guests coming to the Festival can expect when they enter those gates.

As well as what his own favorite part would be.

Come celebrate our 53rd season by visiting the Festival grounds in Shakopee, MN. Huzzah!

By the way, The Minnesota State Fair is also gonna be happening!
