Our thanks to the Grand Valley State University community past and present for its continued support!
Our 29th annual festival was October 4-5, 2025. Dates for 2026 and our 30th festival coming soon.
The Grand Valley State University Renaissance Festival Club (or “GVRen”) was founded in 1995 by four students at Grand Valley State University. Since that time, it has shrunk and grown as students came and went, with each successive group carrying on the tradition of the founding members–to hold a renaissance festival on campus each year for the enjoyment of club members, the university, and the community of West Michigan and beyond.
The festival in 2025 marked the 29th annual festival, an event that has been joined in the past on the organization’s yearly calendar by the short-lived Yule Market and longer-running Duke’s Ball, among other events.
We look forward to seeing you there!
