How to find us:

Festival of Adventures

Saturday - Sunday
SEPTEMBER 15-16, 2007

Welcome! - Bonjour! - Caid Mile Failte! - Velkommen!

Festival of Adventures is located about 4 blocks south of the stoplights in downtown Aitkin, at the Aitkin City Park. Aitkin, Minnesota is just two hours north of Minneapolis/St Paul on Highway 169. We are also 3 hours east of Fargo, ND and ninety minutes west of Duluth, MN along Highway 210. On a map of Minnesota, we are just north of Mille Lacs lake, one of the larger inland lakes in north-central Minnesota.

Once you reach Aitkin, head downtown. The City Park is located just four blocks south of the stoplight (...and the only stoplight in Aitkin county!). The Festival is situated along the quiet, scenic and historic Mud (Ripple) river which gives one the impression that the 20th century is very far away.

Come join us at the Fest'!

In addition to our Festival of Adventures fur trade rendezvous, we also offer an 1890s pinery camp experience. In the era that followed the statewide Jack Pine harvest, White Oak became an important replacement to Jack Pine. During the pinery camp era, White Oak was cut as a hardwood. White Oak was used in the making of furniture and for cooperage. As the river pigs floated the White Oak logs to the mill, deer would gather along the river to drink. Deer and the river were the constant companions of the men as they floated White Oak to the mill each spring.
