For Grand Traverse readers looking for an autumn outing with a different theme, St. Ambrose Cellars is hosting a Renaissance Faire in Beulah on Saturday, October 10, 2026. [1]

The published hours are noon–7 p.m., and the official ticket page gives the location as 841 S Pioneer Road. [2]

The organizer's program combines sword fighting, artisan shopping, live music, food, and family entertainment. [1]

Think of this preview as a guide to planning your visit; it does not promise a performance timetable that the organizer has not finalized.

What the faire offers

St. Ambrose's announcement describes a vendor market, turkey legs and other food, the Tournament of St. Ambrose, birds of prey, face painting, and crafts. [1]

The tournament gives the day a central spectacle, while the market offers another reason to wander the grounds.

The artisan listings mention handmade jewelry, pottery, and leather goods. [1]

Choose the part of the program your group most wants to experience, then allow time for the other offerings without trying to see everything at once.

For children, ask what sounds most interesting before you arrive.

For adults, leave room for browsing or watching the tournament without turning the afternoon into a tightly timed march.

Admission and a useful budget check

General admission is listed at $15 for adults, $5 for ages 5–12, and free for ages 4 and younger. [1]

For two adults and two children ages 5–12, the listed admission totals $40, calculated as $15 + $15 + $5 + $5. [2]

That calculation excludes any checkout fees, food, drinks, shopping, or optional ticket upgrades.

Check the final amount before paying rather than treating the listed base price as an all-inclusive outing budget.

The official ticket page also lists a no-refunds policy. [2]

Review the event conditions carefully if your plans might change.

Interested in the tournament?

The ticket page describes special Court tickets that include a more interactive tournament experience. [2]

It lists a processional, better sword-fight seating, a fighter to support, and a Fate Coin. [2]

The Day Court is tentatively scheduled for 12:30–2 p.m. and the Night Court for 5–6:30 p.m. [2]

Those times are explicitly tentative, so confirm them with the organizer before arranging your visit around a Court session.

Do not assume a Court experience is included in ordinary admission or that tickets remain available.

Use the linked ticket page to check the current choices and any upgrade price.

A different pet rule for this day

Although the ticket page describes St. Ambrose as normally dog-friendly, dogs are not permitted at this event because animals will be present. [2]

Make arrangements at home before setting off with a pet.

For other access questions, use the ticket page's contact-host option or contact the venue ahead of your trip.

Ask about anything your group needs, including walking surfaces, seating, restrooms, or the best approach for someone with limited mobility.

Our suggested afternoon plan

Start by finding the day's current performance information, then pick one tournament or entertainment priority.

Browse the market around that choice and leave time for a meal break.

Bring layers and suitable walking shoes, and check the forecast close to departure.

Save your ticket confirmation and the venue address where you can retrieve them easily.

The useful next step is to review the official event and ticket links below, choose the right admission option, and build a manageable Beulah outing.
