This is a new event, August 27-28, in Mishawaka, IN. The site is a city park that is an island in the St Joseph River. I don't have many details yet. Their Web site is http://www.michianarenfest.com/.
Here's a list of things to see and hear; at least this is what's been announced so far:
Knotty Bits Sideshow, Sentinels of the Rose, Theatrical Combat Network, Gypsy Raqs
Music by Robyn the Bard, harpist Amy Kercsmar, The Minstrel Teig (that's me)
Encampments by Vikings of the Great Lakes, and Kingdom of Shiabrook
