Michigan Renaissance Festival

About This Event

The final day of the 2026 season featuring 16th-century themed entertainment, jousting, artisan markets, and themed food and drink.

What to Expect

• 1.The grounds are huge and outdoors, so wear comfy shoes and bring a light jacket because October weather in Michigan can swing from sunny to chilly.
• 2.Check the day's schedule for jousting bouts and stage shows and plan to arrive early to snag good viewing spots.
• 3.Artisans and food stalls drive most of the day, so bring cash for vendors that may be cash only.
• 4.Dress the part if you want to blend in and have fun, but comfortable clothes and layers beat trying to parade in tight cosplay.
• 5.Stay hydrated, take breaks, and roam the market at a relaxed pace so you don't burn out before the final performance.
