Festival 59
January 18-23, 2027
Rochester, MN
Region 5 is excited to welcome festival attendees to Rochester, Minnesota! Rochester is internationally renowned as the home of Mayo Clinic, drawing visitors from around the globe, but it's also a vibrant cultural hub with a thriving arts scene, beautiful parks along the Zumbro River, and a welcoming community that takes pride in both its medical heritage and its commitment to the arts. As you spend the festival week immersed in theatrical excellence, take a moment to explore the downtown, visit the historic Chateau Theatre, or stroll through Peace Plaza.
Hotel blocks with discounted ACTF R5 rates will open in November. We will send out an email when those blocks are released. So that your institutions can begin planning for the festival, hotels will range from $212 - $170 per night (including tax).
