See DeWall’s Forge Live – Demonstrations, Fairs, and Festivals

Shows, Demonstrations & Events

Throughout the year — especially during the summer months — DeWall’s Forge travels across Michigan to take part in historical shows, festivals, and community events. Our live blacksmithing demonstrations showcase the art, history, and skill of traditional metalworking — bringing fire, steel, and creativity together right before your eyes.

Each event is a chance to share the story of the blacksmith’s craft, spark curiosity, and inspire a new generation of makers. Visitors can see firsthand how raw iron transforms into functional tools, artistic creations, and timeless works of craftsmanship.

We also participate in local fairs, reenactments, educational events, and artisan markets, often setting up a working forge on-site to demonstrate techniques that have shaped history for centuries.
