Michigan Renaissance Festival (Holly)
Saturday & Sunday
Witness the thunderous clash of steel as knights engage in a joust, their armor gleaming in the sun. Mingle with nobles of refined bearing, or rub shoulders with boisterous pirates fresh from the high seas. Fairies with wings of moonlight and elves of nimble step may flit amongst the throng, while hearty peasants go about their daily tasks. Even fearsome Vikings and daring jugglers add to the vibrant tapestry of this bygone era.
