Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival opens its doors and celebrates eight wonderful years of family friendly shenanigans, shopping, history and fun.
The Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival prides its self on being a wonderful blend of history and fairytale. Located just outside the historic “Little Bavaria” Frankenmuth, we work to incorporate as much rich and wonderful German Culture as possible.
The story takes place in the Village of Cleves. The year is 1539 and the Duke Whilhem is preparing his sister Anne to marry King Henry VIII and for his cousin, Queen Anna of Bohemia’s visit.
However, do not let this little village fool you there is more than meets the eye. Fairytales have come to life and between the beautiful Princesses, the dashing Prince Charming, the Wicked Witch and Fairy Godmother battling it out, there is enough to immerse one’s self in to get lost, and that is until The Brothers Grimm set the stories straight.
Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival offers a unique dining, shopping and entertainment experience. From hand-made soaps, swords and goblets to turkey Legs, bread bowls and handmade chocolates there is a little something for every craving.
Featured entertainers are The Fiend Fyre Charmers, Theatrical Combat Network, Pumpernickel the Fool, Gypsy Raqs and many more filling our four stages with music, dancing, comedy and amusement for everyone.
There are even activities for youngsters, including a Crafting Table, Princess Picnic, Knights Academy, Games and Contests. Open the last three weekends in June from 11:00 am – 7:00 pm there is always something to do in the Enchanted Forest.
Established in 2008, Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival prides itself on being a budget friendly, but most importantly a Family Friendly escape.
