Royal Stagg Renaissance Faire 2023

We have a dream of a castle in the woods, surrounded by a small village of shops, where magic is felt, memories are made and fairy tales can come true.

Our dream is about making a permanent site for the friends we have met the ‘rennies’ of south west Michigan and beyond. These kind and caring folks, who took us in and accepted us without judgement, have become like family and deserve an escape that we can all share with the public

And that is what all historical re-enactors love about fairs: the escape from daily life, the magic of bringing another time period to life, and sharing it with our community.

This would become a permanent site to hold a renaissance faire, that doesn’t require a 4+ hour drive, and a year’s worth of savings to attend.

But more than just one faire, we want to provide a magical place for weddings, complete with accommodations for the bridal party to overnight in the castle suites. An event hall that looks like a picture of Valhalla, how fun would a graduation or birthday party be at Arthur’s round table?

Magical Realm Fantasy Faire 2023

For one weekend a year, in this one magical place, anything is possible. You might see Renaissance and Medieval lords and ladies keeping company with vikings and pirates. You might see a Steampunk starship pilot playing cards with mermaids and fairies. You might see mysterious figures lurking in the shadows… but maybe you are just seeing things.

Visitors can traipse their way along our main thoroughfare and visit craftsmen, merchants, and artisans. Children can enjoy the Kid’s Kingdom crafts, games, story times, and even go dancing with the Fairy Court! Adults can sip some mead or beer in our Mead Hall, and everyone is welcome to enjoy the food together in our dining hall. Browse through Author’s Alley or enjoy entertainers, musicians, sword fighters, jugglers, dancers, and bards as you wander your way around the Realm. While you are here, don’t forget to check out the magical artifacts in our special Fairy Tale Museum!

Still looking for more to do? You can even serve the Realm by taking on a Royal Quest!

What is the Royal Quest?

Tragedy has struck the Kingdom, and you are needed to help the Fairy Court defeat the forces of evil. Weakened by a darkness that has swept the world, the Magical Realm faces the return of an old enemy. After a century of banishment, the Lord of Shadows has come to overthrow the Queen of Summer and the King of Earth, and take control of the Court. Standing alongside the Queen and King are the Ladies of Spring, Autumn, and Winter, as well as the Lords of Air, Water, and Fire. Other members of the Fairy Court will guide you along your quests to discover the weakness of the Lord of Shadows and defeat him once and for all!
