The Great Lakes Medieval Faire and Marketplace 2026 will take place July 11 – August 23 in Rock Creek, Ohio, offering seven themed weekends in the village of Avaloch, with continuous entertainment, juried crafts, artisan demonstrations, rides, interactive games, medieval food, knights, minstrels, villagers, and fae.

This shaded, 13th-century family fun theme park is designed as a lively medieval marketplace reminiscent of Sherwood Forest. Visitors can explore Avaloch, shop for treasures ranging from silks to swords, watch skilled crafters at work, try games of skill, enjoy hearty festival food, and step into a world of romance, chivalry, fantasy, and merriment.
