My wife was driving us to the #MichRenFest when I saw the smoke column and googled "fire grand blanc mi," expecting a small local news story. We had to pull over 3 times for emergency vehicles to pass us. I don't think many people at the Festival knew what had happened.

Two people stand at a Renaissance Festival, posed with their arms around each other's shoulders, but there is a small awkward shelf positioned between them, so their torsos and hips are veeeery far apart. There are emoji hearts over the faces of everyone in the photo.
we called this one The Medieval No Homo (you get no points for guessing which one's me)

What is your favorite Michigan Renaissance Festival activity? Mine is the jousting!

Some pre-joust shenanigans to warm up the crowd before the main event #MichRenFest
There was a Viking Invasion of the Michigan Renaissance Festival during the Labor Day Weekend! #MichRenFest
Wide shot of a street scene at the renaissance festival; a moderate number 9f costumed and plainclothes people walk between various vendors online dappled sunlight under young trees.
I'm into the "managing my overstimulation" phase of the day. Sitting and people-watching outside the pub. #MichRenFest
It only took twelve years to get my husband @bauser.com dressed up for the Ren Faire, but I wore him down eventually! (And made him an outfit.)

An older gentleman performing magic dressed as a pirate in a three-corner hat (Cap'n Sean), and his assistant: a 3-year-old gray-and-white Maine Coon cat (Mirf the Magnificent)

Three people in costume at the festival. On the left one dressed as a lion in a full-body costume with cape and cane. In the middle one descends in full body black metal armor. And on the right one dressed in a full body costume of robes and flowers with a (deer?) skull mask and long articulated bony fingers.
Ye olde gentleman lion, black knight, and bone witch #MichRenFest
A wide shot of a few dozen people, many in costume, just inside the main gates of the festival.
Michigan Renaissance Festival, gates opened 25 minutes ago. I'll probably post a few more pics over the course of the day. #MichRenFest
Kyle, Brandon, Michael, and Nate grouped together for a selfie at the Renaissance Festival. Kyle & Michael are smiling while Brandon and Nate are sticking their tongues out

Got to check out dragons, wands, and turkey legs with @geminigeek.bsky.social, @animystic.net, and @nrcraddock.com at the #michrenfest! Such a good time with these wonderful lads! 🧚🏻♂️⚔️🔮
Me in a kilt and ren fest garb.
Went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival today for the first time in several years. The theme was Highland Fling, so it felt appropriate to wear the Renwick tartan today. It was a nice time with my sister, but missed some of the old “faire magic.” #renfest #MichRenFest
There's an old #TSR/#WOTC artist at the #MichRenFest, but he doesn't allow photos at his shop. I shall support his effort to remain concealed by refusing to name him!
Jousting at the #MichRenFest is a lot like an #AdventurersLeague #DnD game -- too much talking and not enough stabbing.
Wish I was this good juggling things at my job!

If you see Sebastian the Singing Pirate at the Michigan Renaissance Festival tell him I said Huzzah!

Last time I lived with my parents, their #cats developed a habit of chasing (and trying to eat) 20-sided #dice. I tried to switch them to d30s because I worried about them choking on small dice, but they wouldn't touch those. Cats only love d20s!
Strange pin to find at the #MichRenFest, though.
Artwork on the #MichRenFest 2025 program has a very "late #ADnD Second Edition" vibe. I can't identify the artist, because googling this photo just finds other festival's brochures.
Had a fun time attending the Mich Ren Fest pre-opening party festivities tonight. The 2025 Michigan Renaissance Festival runs the weekends of August 16 through September 26: michrenfest.com

I'm pleased to announce Kailoch'an the merman will be returning to the Michigan Renaissance Festival for their opening weekend on August 16 and 17!

If we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
