Fun for Everyone!

Hey guys, Nick here from The Lake Minnetonka Home Team! As summer starts to wind down and the kids are getting ready to head back to school some of you might be starting to feel a
little down. Well when fall is near have no tears because the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is here!  If your house is listed and you are tired of taking the kids to a movie every time you have an open or just want to have a ton of fun on a Sunday or Saturday I highly recommend the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.

Some of you might say “I’m not into dressing up like a fairy tale character.” or “Dragons are for nerds.” Well, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is much, much, more than that and I am here to shed some light on events for people of all ages and personalities!

Knights!

Every weekend there is a different theme for the festival so no visit is ever the same! Take the kids to shamrocks and shenanigans for a good laugh or swoon a lady for a date during the chocolate and wine festival. If neither of those suit you just grab a stein, fill it to the brim with mead, and watch a knight get thrown off their horse during the joust! Don’t forget to chomp on a delicious turkey leg either!

If there is an extra dollar in your pocket then join in on one of the many royal events around the festival.  My personal favorite is the Bawdy Beer Show! The food and beer will add some calories but the jesters will make you laugh so hard you will burn it right off!  If events aren’t your cup of tea feel free to meander through the endless rows of shops, you will lose yourself in all the fun!

Scrumptious Turkey Legs!

Whether you are a first time visitor or coming back for the 20th year in a row there are always jolly times to be had at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival! Dates and times can be found here at their website.
