The Michigan Renaissance Festival runs through August 13- September 25 on weekends, rain or shine. Dressing up in Renaissance style clothing is optional, but fun. There are several food vendors and a ton of merchants selling wares throughout the festival. Every weekend has a theme, however all of the weekends are equally fun. There is full-contact jousting to watch, turkey drumsticks to eat, several shows performed throughout the day, free parking, and various games to play. It can be a bit dusty, and you should be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes. You can find more information at www.michrenfest.com
