Doni welcomes you to RenFest!

Welcome to the Michigan Renaissance Festival! RenFest forever!

The Michigan Renaissance Festival is my jam.  I first attended RenFest back in the early '90s.  My friend in college asked me if I wanted to pick up some extra work at the Michigan Renaissance Festival and I said "yes." I had not been before.  I showed up and my mind was blown.  There was so much going on everywhere and you never knew what would happen next.  Here we are in 2022 and I still love the Michigan Renaissance Festival.

100+ Artisans, 17 stages and tons of cleavage.  Speaking of... thanks to Hearts Delight Clothiers for giving me an amazing outfit.  They are so nice and their cloths are amazing.  I did my usual "criss-cross apple sauce" to lift the girls to new heights and I was on my way.  I can assure, my girls are never more elevated than when I'm wearing a corset from Hearts Delight. The whole process is amazing.

I was SO HAPPY to see my absolute favorite character, Mother Superior of The Greater Northern Lakes.  She does vow renewals and so much more.  She's one of reasons why I still love the Michigan Renaissance Festival so much. She will mess with you... for a price.

Ample cleavage and a look of clear reproach from Mother Superior of the Greater Northern Lakes.

The Guinness Pub was ROCKING at RenFest!  The band changed "Ballroom Blitz" to "Renfest Blitz" and the crowd was LOVING it! The music, the scents, and the energy of the Michigan Renaissance Festival is something I love to experience every year!  Would you like to win tickets?  CLICK HERE to enter to win a pair from WCSX!  Scroll down to check out my pics of this year's adventures!  HUZZAH!
