Celebrate the 5^th Annual Mayfaire Renaissance Festival, Opening May 17

Save gas, take a mini-vacation close to home and have the time of your life at the 5^th Annual Mayfaire Renaissance Festival, in beautiful Marshall , MI .

The Mayfaire Renaissance Festival site is nestled in a natural, wooded area of the Calhoun County fairgrounds. While strolling through the lanes youâ€^TMll encounter boatloads of pirates, fierce Vikings, jolly jugglers, comedians, richly costumed lords and ladies, wacky wenches, merry musicians and more! History, legend and fantasy come to life with period encampments, educational displays, sword fighting, belly dancing and street theatre.

The Mayfaire Renaissance Festival runs for two full weekends plus Memorial Day: May 17-18, May 24-25 & Monday, May 26, 2008.  Event hours are 10am - 6pm (Open Rain or Shine!) Ticket prices for this fun family entertainment event are $9.00 for Adults, $5.00 for Children ages 5-12, and admission is Free for Children ages 4 and under.

In the mood to shop ‘til you drop? The village marketplace abounds with one-of-a-kind merchandise, including jewelry, pottery, toys, crafts, period clothing and accoutrements. Our artisans will showcase fine wares not found in the average shopping mall. Hungry? Try a wide variety of taste-tempting treats from the village kitchens. There will be plenty of fine foods to feast upon and non-alcoholic cool drinks to wet your whistle.

Children of all ages will enjoy an escape from the mundane world as they mingle with princesses and peasants, fairies, storytellers…and keep an eye out for the OGRE! Everyone is encouraged to feel free to dress up in period costume to become a part of the atmosphere of a pre-1600 village. Kids love coming to the faire dressed as their favorite pirate, fairy or as “visiting royalty.” And no visit to the enchanting realm of Marshallmoor would be complete without an audience with the Queen and her Royal Court .

The 5^th annual Mayfaire Renaissance Festival is an all-day feast of entertainment â€" at a reasonable price â€" right here in West Michigan . For more information, visit www.mayfaireren. com
