About this event

Step back in time to a 16th-century village with jousting, music, and themed entertainment.

What to Expect

  • 1.You'll catch jousting, live music, and period shows all over the village, with plenty of street performers and crafts to browse. Grab a map and plan a few must see moments so you don't miss your favorites.
  • 2.Crowd vibe is lively and family friendly, with lots of people in costumes. It can get crowded on weekends, so give yourself extra time for lines and photo ops.
  • 3.Food options range from turkey legs to medieval snacks. Lines can be long at peak times, so consider grabbing a bite a bit earlier or later.
  • 4.The festival grounds are expansive at 12600 Dixie Highway in Holly, MI, so wear comfy shoes and plan a route. There are shaded areas and multiple stages, but you may want a light layer for chilly evenings.
  • 5.For first timers, dressing in comfortable clothes helps, but you can enjoy without costuming. If you want to blend in, a simple accessory like a scarf or belt goes a long way.
