The Renaissance Festival offers elephant, camel, pony, and llama rides. Join our protest to help raise awareness about these unethical attractions at the Ren Fest and encourage people attending to skip the animal exploitation and instead enjoy the activities that don't hurt animals.

Due to some parking snags, we've come up with a fun and easy solution to avoid risking your vehicle being towed or having to pay $25 for parking. So, now you'll meet us at Hy-Vee, 1451 Adams St. S, Shakopee, MN, in the lot facing HomeTown Bank. Then, we'll carpool in Amy and Kelsey's vehicles to the Queens Gate. Arrive around 11:30 - as we're leaving at 11:45 am from the Hy-Vee lot. You'll have to stay the entire two hours if you choose to carpool. You can register your vehicle and pay $25 at the gas station if you don't want to carpool from Hy-Vee.

Signs will be provided.

Join ARC for ARC Activists’ Circle, a brand-new monthly online gathering for our volunteer community!

On the first Monday of each month, we’ll hop on Zoom to connect with fellow advocates, share updates about upcoming campaigns and events, hear your ideas and opinions, and answer questions. It’s a relaxed space to stay in the loop, build community, and talk all things animal advocacy with other passionate activists.

ARC Activists’ Circle is designed for current volunteers and people interested in volunteering. If you have general questions about ARC outside of volunteering, please reach out to our office by phone or email during store hours.

To keep this space welcoming and productive for everyone, we ask that participants:
- Be respectful and allow others to finish speaking
- Avoid interrupting
- Use considerate language
- Treat everyone with fairness and kindness
- Always have your video on so everyone can feel comfortable

This event is locked for security purposes. Please sign up on

Curious about eating plant-based, but think it’s too expensive? Or maybe you’re already vegan, but spending way too much money on food.

Join Kelsey, who is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition from T. Colin Campbell's Center for Nutrition Studies, to squash the myth that the vegan lifestyle is hard on your wallet. We’ll discuss why vegan food is expensive, what foods to shop for, where and how to find them, tips for meal planning, and provide tons of resources. Come with questions and be prepared to take notes.

All are welcome! You do not need to be vegan to attend ARC events.

We will have a table at Education Minnesota's annual MEA Conference at the St. Paul RiverCentre to engage with educators about the use of animals in the classroom—including dissection, hatching projects, classroom "pets," and other forms of animal exploitation.

Our booth will feature information about our Teaching Compassion lending library, a 3D cat and bullfrog dissection model, our Virtual Reality ethical dissection headset, a chick life cycle model, and free copies of the educational game We're All Animals. We'll also provide literature outlining the benefits of humane, non-animal alternatives in the classroom, along with resources on where to find them.

If you're an educator attending this event, be sure to stop by and pick up free resources to support compassionate, science-based learning in your classroom.
