We are preparing for another great faire! Come see us for a henna tattoo, face painting, or a fun kid temporary tattoo.

Hello all I am interested in attending as a new artist. I have been attending Ren-fest and SCA events for several years. I normally travel the comic book conventions but I am thinking of getting back heavily into the fantasy circuit once again.

I had a fantastic time at the Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival. I really enjoy the forest setting and all of the merchants and performers were very considerate and offered up a wealth of information about their craft. The Gutterpups ware extraordinary performers (I have their CD for my car ride to work) and the Society for Creative Anachronism members were very helpful in dispensing tons and tons of information about their fighting techniques and armor making ideas. When those kids are invited to the "Whack a Knight" session, it is hilarity for all! The "dragon leg" (turkey leg) was the best I've had and went well with my root beer while listening to the Gutterpups. I'm looking forward to the expansion of the festival in years to come, and commend you on organizing such a complex event. Well done! The Rangers have lots of great ideas for next year including an archery display and I got a kick out of Tweedler the Fool who had me laughing plenty of times throughout the day. a link to my photos and video can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffwiden/sets/72157622614572560/

Once again, thanks for an excellent time.

Had a wonderful time today! So glad to see the fair growing and looking forward to coming back again next year.

My friends, boyfriend, daughter and I would like to thank you all for the amazing experience we had at the faire on Halloween!

My boyfriend and I are dorks... huge dorks. My daughter is growing up with an appreciation of the finer things in life, Anime, role playing, books and a great love for fantasy. Things have been very rough financially for the last six months or so, and the plans we had to go to the Ren Fest in Holly had to be put on hold. Elorah was really looking forward to going, but I had come to peace with not being able to take her there when I happened across a link to your website while looking up local trick or treating times. With the $1 coupon for each of us, and Elorah being free because she was in costume, we were able to cash in our bucket of change and afford tickets to visit the faire on Halloween!

Everyone was so nice, and Elorah got extra treats for Halloween. She was the little dark fairy who won the costume contest. She still carries around the marshmallow gun she won. It's a fun reminder that we probably wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. I still feel bad that we weren't able to show the performers more appreciation for the shows, but next year when we come back we'll make sure to have enough saved up that we can make up for this year!

The Mid Michigan Ren Fest is on our list of new family traditions, I'm sure you'll all see us for Halloweens to come!

Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness we were greeted with by everyone we encountered! I certainly won't be traveling to Holly for a ren faire any longer, there is a high quality one so much nearer (and now dearer to my heart).

I just found out that this part of michigan has a Ren Fest. That is FANTASTIC.

My husband and I attended the MMRF this year (2010)for the first time. We had a wonderful time. People were so friendly and the woodland setting was so total beautiful. We will be back next year...Keep up the hard work and keep growing...Merry meet again.

Today was our first trip the this Ren Fest. My kids (ages: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 & 14) all had a blast. They are already planning their costumes for next year.

The setting was beautiful, the weather perfect, the shops very interesting, and the entertainment entertaining!
Family Friendly!!!!

Hello! My name is Gina, and I will be doing face painting and body art and glitter tattoo's this year at MMRF. I am so excited to be a part of the faire this year. Looking forward to painting smiles, one face at a time!

the festival was awsome and that for me and my friends.We are all between ages of 11 and 12.We thank you so much for allowing us to come.THANK YOU!

Enjoyed my first time to the RenFest last year, the thumb-fiddl'n, and the gawdy girls. I'll be there for the Gutter Pups, and to have a pint. Yer all great sports to risk freez'n and wett'n yer buns in the woods for us commoner's.

I went to the Michigan ren fest just last week. When i was visiting my favorite jeweler vender he said he would be up near frankenmuth for the mid Michigan ren fest. I went to the Mayfair ren fest in marshal and was disappointed. I may just be spoiled by the huge one in holly. I am hoping to make it up there from canton mi.

is this site supposed to make me want to go to this place, after seeing the horribly creepy people in your slide show, i don't want to.

I attended Mid Michigah Renaissance Festival for the 1st time today and I thought is was great. I hope it goes on each year for years to come. Keep up the good work.
Huzzah.

It is understandable that cash can make people autonomous. But how to act when one doesn't have cash? The one way is to receive the business loans or just small business loan.

January is almost over with and that makes it one month close to the MMRF 2012 Festival! Hope everyone can be there for opening day of June 9!

Looking forward to coming for my first time. Coming from a small kingdom myself, I would be happy to help in any way possible.

thanks for a fun time. great people, excellent music, polite vendors. we'll be back, for sure.

we went last year and had a wonderful time! we were looking forward to spending a weekend at the faire only to discover that it is over already! What happened to October! Very disappointed!

Me and my mom really want to go to the festival, is there one going on in Detroit this weekend October 1-2 .I can't find anything on that information if some one can help me it would be very much appreciated.

thanks for a fun time. great people, excellent music, polite vendors. we'll be back, for sure. lost our camera at the golden gryfon. but it was returned to the gate by some good folks.

Myself and my daughter were first timers this year and went twice! It was WONDERFUL! We loved the experience and the atmosphere. It was very hot on the days we went but didnt seem to notice once there. A BIG shout out and round of applause to Romea and Juliet. The play had us laughing long after and we were sure not to miss it the second time around. Also, I purchased "Black Knight" soap from Lady Leigh's and I wish I would have bought A LOT more. It is devine. The food was great and the products very interesting and unique.
Thank You for a wonderful time and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Give Sir Dan a kiss from both of us.

Today are auditions at Sullivans Black Forest Restuarant from 11 a.m to 6 p.m. Seems the weather has cleared but yet extremely cold, good day to stay inside and audition for the upcoming festival! Sullivans has some great food and drinks too so you can spend the day there. They even have tv's around the bar to watch. Good luck to all who audition!

It's really great that people are shairng this information.
