July 30, 2007 by
The 2007 Michigan Renaissance Festival is held in Holly, MI on weekends from August 18 to September 30. Inside the turreted gates, visitors step back into a festive marketplace with colorful characters, belly dancers, sword swallower's, comedians,
musicians, knights, gallant knights and friendly merchants. The Festival is best known for awe inspiring full contact armored jousting tournaments.
