Minnesota Renaissance Festival
12364 Chestnut Blvd, Shakopee, MN
The Minnesota Renaissance Festival transforms festival grounds in Shakopee into a recreated 16th century village each fall, with jousting, artisan craft vendors, and stage performances across sixteen stages. Now in its 55th year, it is one of the largest Renaissance festivals in the country. The 2026 season runs weekends from August 22 through October 4, plus Labor Day and a closing Festival Friday.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
