| This is
the Ninth Annual Ishpeming Renaissance Festival. A one day event
to be held this year on August 2, 2008, from 10 am to 7 pm.
Last year's event included up to 75 art and craft booths, 8 theme related
merchants, 6 food vendors. Along with a children's activity
area (Kids Castle) and a broad variety of entertainment including
dancers, musicians, singers, swordsman and games from the Renaissance
period. Five different musical groups performed throughout the
day. This energetic annual event attracts a large number of
people of all ages and historically attracted a great number
of families. Each year it increases in popularity, and we expect
upwards of 2,500 people this year.
Bancroft Park, along with the adjacent
Cliff Shaft Mining Museum property in Ishpeming provides a
beautiful setting along Lake Bancroft.. The city of Ishpeming
has been generous and increasingly supportive of this event,
along with individual donations from sponsoring businesses.
The day is filled with unique entertainment provided by quality
art booths, authentic period performers, a variety of food
and beverage vendors and costumes inspired by historical culture.
