A Renaissance Festival is a themed event that traditionally celebrates the artistic and cultural advancements made in Renaissance Europe. You aren’t required to dress in costume to attend, but many people choose to dress in costume as part of the fun. Vendors sell handmade Renaissance-era clothing and wares. Musicians perform on stage, with acts performing throughout the day on multiple stages. Guilds present the daily life of people in Europe during the Renaissance. Even more than that, Renaissance Festivals are a community of people who are passionate about entertaining, educating, and creating amazing experiences that you can’t get anywhere else.
Most festivals focus on England and Queen Elizabeth, but we do things a little bit differently at Koroneburg. In honor of Johannes Gutenberg who made literacy and education accessible to all people with the movable type printing press, our event is set on the Rhine river on the border of France and Germany between 1450-1600. Though the event is thematically placed in Europe we welcome presenters of all cultures. Also, we are one of the only permanently built Renaissance Festivals in California.
