Once again I will post this reminder. If anyone other than Michiana Renaissance Fest offers you tickets, vending/performing options, or merchandise, please report. They are not affiliated with the Michiana Renaissance Festival. This is a common scam and they should be reported and blocked. These folks are sneaky and look legit! As always you can check with us at [email protected]. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our event!!!
