- You can also buy tickets at the King and Queens Gate Box Office at the Festival

What to Bring: Our gates are open rain or shine. Please check the weather the day of your visit and plan accordingly! Prepare for dirt and mud, wear shoes you won't mind getting dirty! Some examples of what you might find helpful:

Bring Cash: Many booths at the Renaissance Festival only take cash. There are also ATMs located throughout the festival grounds for your convenience.

Plan on Walking: The Renaissance Festival covers a lot of area, with an amazing number of food vendors, artisan shops, and stages. Because of this, plan on walking a great distance.

*Motorized Scooter Rentals are available for rent on our website. Reserve early as there are a limited number of scooters. https://www.etix.com/ticket/e/1045009/2024-motorized-scooter-rental-please-choose-date-shakopee-minnesota-renaissance-festival

Cellular Service: Cellular service didn't exist in the 16th century, so while Verizon has helped significantly with service, most days with higher crowds have less reception. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Renaissance atmosphere!

Join us for 7 weekends of Huzzah and Cheers!
August 17 - September 29, plus, Labor Day, Monday September 2, & Festival Friday September 27, 2024.
