/images/meet-the-merfolk.jpgHollygrove Cove Merfolk are the mermaids of the Michigan Renaissance Festival.
We have always been a conglomerate from multiple states, representing our mersonas as from all over the world. Seasons come and go, yet we are all a family here in the Cove, and wish to share our passion for this event and this place with all of you.
Since you may only see one of our mermaids when you visit our Cove, this page exists so you can see all of us, because our mermaids are PHENOMENAL and make the world a more magical place with all that they do.
Hollygrove Cove is beyond blessed to have so many talented professionals grace our tank at MIRF every year, who work so hard for so long to make it look easy and magical!
And we can’t forget to give a shout-out to our hard-working mertenders! We'd be floundering without them!
Our mermaids simply adore being able to come back to the Cove each year to play, splash, entertain, and bestow upon you the pure laughter and joy that their mythical forms embody.
We have two mottos in Hollygrove Cove that completely sum up how all of us feel:
Be the magic you wish to see in the world.
And
Welcome home.
