About Sever's Fall Festival
Sever Peterson and his family were originally inspired by hedge mazes in Europe. As the first corn maze in the Midwest in 1997, they have expanded to become a fall festival that guests can spend all day at with family and friends. The 2023 season marks the 27th year that Sever's has been open. Sever's is located at 3121 W. 150th St. in Shakopee, Minn.
