The Michigan Renaissance Festival Opens August 16th! Check out the themed weekends for 2025! #Sponsored #MichRenFest2025

The fun has begun at the annual Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly, Michigan! We love attending this family-friendly festival and it draws large crowds from throughout Michigan and out of state!

This year's weekend themes are:

• Pirates & Pups (8/16-8/17)
• Highland Fling (8/23-8/24)
• Viking Invasion (8/30-9/1) - Labor Day Weekend)
• Wonders of the World (9/6-9/7)
• Shamrock & Shenanigans (9/13-9/14)
• Harvest Huzzah (9/20-9/21)
• Festival Friday (9/26) & Sweet Endings (9/27-9/28)

We have been attending the Renaissance Festival for over 2 decades and they are always adding new foods, vendors, shows and attractions to the event.

One major change is: Parking Passes are now needed to park on the Michigan Renaissance Festival grounds. For your convenience Parking Passes may be purchased upon arrival to the Festival or you may purchase a daily Parking Pass online by visiting www.michrenfest.com and Each Parking Pass costs $15 (Each Parking Pass is good for one single day of vehicle parking. A Parking Pass is an included benefit for all Season and Royal Pass holders).

Some of the other popular event attractions are the Hawk Walk, Sky Hunters - Birds of Prey, Feast of Fantasy, Royal Masquerade Ball, Pub Crawl, the King's Happy Hour and Ladies Shopping Day. These events sell out fast so don't delay in ordering your tickets here!
