WHAT IS SEVERS FALL FESTIVAL

The Fall Festival. located in Shakopee, Minnesota started with just an elaborate corn maze.  Now it has grown into something that is much bigger, and has been going on since 1997.

Fun fact: The first year of the corn maze saw about 5,000 attendees, with the only other “attraction” being a table where we sold cookies. Today, Sever’s Fall Festival draws about 20x as many people and hosts an ever-expanding list of attractions including corn pits, jumping pillows, petting zoos, playgrounds, live shows, zip lines, pumpkin patches, local artisans, food vendors, beer, wine and more

If you have been out to this corn maze and festival any other year, you probably have noticed that it has a different theme every year.  And this year it's even better.  This year they have been nominated as one of the best - and you can vote and help them along!

NOMINATION AND HOW TO VOTE

Starting this weekend, and running through October, pick a weekend, bring the family and have a great time in Shakopee at the Sever's Fall Festival!
