Who We Are
The Great Lakes Medieval Faire is a shaded, 13th century family fun theme park filled with fine continuous entertainment, juried crafts and artisans, rides and interactive games, and foods fit for a King.
Reminiscent of Sherwood Forest, you’ll be transported back in time to our shire of Avaloch! There you’ll experience an age of romance and chivalry, where brave knights battle for the favor of the Queen, fair damsels and minstrels frolic, and the villagers and fae enjoy a festival day with much merriment!
Themed Weekends
There are always new and exciting surprises during our Themed Weekends. Super Heros, Time Travelers, Pirates and more!
Parking
There is plentiful parking for just $5 per vehicle!
Those displaying handicap tags on their car will receive special parking near the gate. Wheelchair-accessible wash facilities are also available. The GLMF is wheelchair and stroller accessible. It’s a little bumpy at the gravel entrance, but once inside the forest area of Avaloch, the paths are much easier to navigate.
