Quote"Hello,
We understand concerns about Coronavirus (COVID-19) are a top concern for many people right now. The health and well-being of our guests and participants is our number one priority. We are monitoring the situation closely, following best practices for preventing the spread of illness recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The current status is that the Minnesota Renaissance Festival will open this August.
• We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
• We will update our website regularly as circumstances warrant.
The Minnesota Renaissance Festival is committed to monitoring the latest information and recommendations by the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health. As an additional resource for information, prevention and the latest guidance please visit the CDC website.
Sincerely,
Minnesota Renaissance Festival"
The Minn State Fair just announce they are not opening this year. It normally opens a week after MNRF opens, so may not be looking good.
