Feasting, Fighting & Fits of Laughter: Minnesota Renaissance Festival

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival in Shakopee is amongst the oldest in the kingdom.

We discuss the beginnings of the festival. We talk about some of the acts that appear at the faire. You will get to see some of the joust, and unarmored combat as well. We talk about some of the activities you can take part in, and the food options. We show off some of the vendors, and mention special events.
