Every year, Amana Colonies holds their renaissance festival, also known as Renfaire, as a fun family event. This celebration includes jousting, arts and crafts, sword fights and more. A common sight at this festival is people dressed up in costumes such as knights, fairies and pirates. While having a costume isn’t a requirement, many attendees choose to participate in the tradition.
Amana provides many medieval-esque foods like the iconic turkey leg at Renfaire. While food certainly isn’t the main event, it is still a much-enjoyed portion of the Faire that Amana is able to arrange. They cater the event with turkey legs, various types of cheesy spuds, brisket sandwiches and many other foods of a similar nature. The Faire also features Amana’s famous root beers and flavored sodas. Aside from that, they have a well-liked slushy stand known as “Slushy Boys.”
