What's better than a Rock Festival & A Renaissance Festival combined?

Journal entry - Kade Stormbrook, 23rd June 1540. 

It is the year of our Lord 1540. I happened across a new festival sprouting up on the big bend of the Kalamazoo River just outside the small village of Galesburg on my travels west this day. The grounds are newly cleaned, and construction is not yet done, but it looks promising. The lads were working on it when I arrived, so I had a chance to talk with them a bit while they took a break with bread and mead. These men are very excited for the festival, and they have some grand ideas, some bigger than I can imagine they'll accomplish, but we shall see. Whatever it may be, I am certain it will be a grand event. Their location is but the most picturesque of any location I have traveled to for a festival. There are not one, but several massive mother trees in these woods, ancient and old for sure. The view up and down the river makes me think i'll see a ship round the next bend. You can tell these grounds hold something special, the feeling of great joy and magick come from these woods. There is a painting op in every direction I look, and they have so much more to do yet. I hope to be back this way on my return home right around October of year next. I hope to see all their hard work pay off and a real gem for our country blossom. Hazzah to the lads - may they be blessed with the wind at the back of their sails!!

We say, "NOTHING!"

We're taking our 6th Annual Fall Rockhound Festival and expanding on it with a brand-new Great Raven Renaissance Festival. This will mean more rocks, more entertainment and more vendors for a great 2-day event, starting in Oct. 2026.  Now we'll feature over 200 vendors, tons of different entertainment, educational opportunities and more. We are SO excited!
