Castle Events was created to cultivate imagination, creativity, historical appreciation, and community through immersive outdoor experiences inspired by artistry, storytelling, education, and wonder. This is a “real” castle located in Erie, Michigan. The team started blasting in summer 2002. It is built of poured concrete and is a private family home. Any public events held at Michigan Castle are outdoor events.
I thought River Raisin said they were not having an event here?
River Raisin Renaissance Faire is its own corporation. Castle Events, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, exists to keep local events happening, and is actively working with the Township and Community to build cultural events in South-Eastern Michigan.
Who do you work with, within the community?
Who do you work with, within the community? We work with artisans, educators, and students of any age, who seek to educate and learn more about the arts, as we are able to. When a person needs help learning, a space to practice, or supplies for their art, we strive to help them meet their needs and ask that an inquiry be made through the “volunteer” link on our website. We work with local schools and organizations, as well as the Township, and local artisans, to help those interested..
