About Us

The Northwest Michigan Renaissance Faire™ is an exciting new annual cultural and entertainment attraction debuting June 19, 2027, at the Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds in Traverse City, Michigan.

Bringing together immersive theatrical entertainment, full-contact jousting, live music, roaming fantasy characters, interactive experiences, artisan merchants, and diverse food and beverage offerings, the faire invites guests of all ages to step into a living, breathing world of medieval magic and adventure.

Founded with a vision of becoming a premier Renaissance festival destination, the Northwest Michigan Renaissance Faire™ aims to attract visitors from across Michigan and beyond, support local businesses, celebrate creativity and craftsmanship, and contribute to Northern Michigan’s growing tourism economy.

With ambitious plans for future expansion into multiple weekends and eventually a permanent Renaissance village, the faire is being established as a lasting regional tradition that will continue to grow and enchant visitors for generations to come.
