Come Live the Legend!
The Great Lakes Medieval Faire is a shaded, 13^th century family fun theme park filled with fine continuous entertainment, juried crafts and artisans, rides and interactive games, and foods fit for a King. Step back in time to an age of romance and chivalry, where brave knights battle on the open jousting field for the favor of the Queen, fair damsels, and the roaring crowd. Join Romeo and Juliet and their Households of Montague and Capulet for a day of wondrous entertainment only found at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire! Keep an eye out for King Henry II and queen Eleanore of Aquataine as they visit our shire of Avaloch!

Theme Weekends, 2012!
If you check out our Theme Weekends for this coming season (and you should, 'cause they're awesome) you'll note there's currently no theme for the July 14-15th weekend... and that's where you come in! The Great Lakes Medieval Faire would like to ask all our loyal Friends and Fans what you would like for that missing Theme Weekend! Mythical Daemons in Space? Animals of the Chinese Zodiac? Feel free to send your thoughts and ideas to our Entertainment Director at entertainment@medievalfaire.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Enter our Photo Contest!
Each year our patrons submit hundreds of photos for our annual Photo Contest - winners receive passes to the faire and prizes from our souvenir shoppe and have their photos posted here. This year we're accepting artwork and illustrations as well, so if you have a good eye or a creative hand and love the festival, read through the rules and bring your camera to the faire.

Sign up for our eMailing List!
The Great Lakes Medieval Faire Newsletters are sent out several times throughout the year to inform subscribers about ticket sales, special events, and general happenings with the Faire - in fact, they're now the only way to find out about our seasonal ticket discounts! The newsletters are sent out infrequently, but are packed with lots of great information and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Entertainment Abounds!
Experience the variety of entertainment: marvel at magicians and fire-eaters, gasp with dynamic swordplay, and guffaw at marvelous jesters. Enjoy succulent period delicacies, washed down with a variety of ice-cold beverages. And between shows, browse through one of Ohio's largest open-air juried Artisan and Craft markets, displaying hand-made crafts such as jewelery, leather goods, and clothing from across North America. Our village marketplace boasts over 100 of the country's finest artisans and craftfolks as they create and sell their wares: jewelery, customing, candles, clothing, baskets, boots, silks, swords, toys, pottery, stained glass, trinkets, and more!
