To our loyal patrons, in our continuous efforts to enhance your experience at the
Michigan Renaissance Festival, we have implemented a new parking process.
We have retained the services of a professional parking company to manage and staff the festival parking operations.
We believe this will result in a far superior parking experience.
Parking Passes are now required to park on the Michigan Renaissance Festival grounds.
For your convenience Parking Passes may be purchased upon arrival to the Festival or you may purchase a daily Parking Pass online.
We hope this update finds you well and we eagerly anticipate a truly remarkable season!

The Michigan family tradition, fit for royalty!
Huzzah!
Passes are available for purchase upon arrival, at a cost of $15 per vehicle. Payment can be made via QR code that is present upon arrival to our site.
With our new parking system, you'll need to enter your license plate number to obtain a parking voucher. Online parking vouchers are available for purchase until Friday night at 11 PM each week. After that, online sales close. If you don’t purchase a voucher online in time, you can buy one on-site on the day of your visit by scanning a QR code upon arrival.
Handicap accessible parking spaces are available near the festival gate entrance. Vehicles must have appropriate plates or permits to park. There are no free parking benefits for handicap permit holders.
Our parking lot opens at 8a. There is plenty to see and do. Remember which Parking Lot your car is in. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with your surroundings to avoid confusion when you depart.
Parking is strictly prohibited in fire lanes, in front of marked exits, on the sides of the roads at all times. Should you choose to disregard this rule, your vehicle will be towed at your own expense. Additionally, overnight parking of any vehicle, truck, trailer, etc. is not permitted.
To avoid parking fees, kindly present your proof of purchase (email or receipt from ETIX) or medal to the parking attendant on duty, scan the QR code, and enter your promo code if you have purchased a season/royal pass.
In the event that you have not received your e-ticket through your email provided by ETIX.com, kindly inform us via email and we shall proceed to re-issue it. Thank you for your cooperation.
Although our enchanted kingdom is totally worth a visit, we understand that the journey can occasionally feel like a treacherous expedition into the depths of gloom. Don’t fret, dear adventurers! We’ve got your back with some clever tips to light up your way and make sure your journey is as epic as it should be.
