The Great Lakes Medieval Faire is a popular annual event, held every summer, during weekends only.

The Great Lakes Medieval Faire activities
The Great Lakes Medieval Faire takes place in a shaded area, which reminds of Sherwood Forest. Visitors are sent back in time to the shire of Avaloch in the 13th century. Expect to see minstrels, majesties, knights, and ladies. The marketplace offers exciting shopping for everything, from hand-blown glass art to silk, jewelry, soap, fragrances, leather goods, clothes, boots, swords, and much more. Fun activities include axe-throwing, archery, and other games of skill. Delicious foods will keep guests full and happy: turkey legs, fried foods, smoothies, salads, homemade frozen custards, and other desserts.
