Congratulations to Melody (comment #2) for winning 4 tickets to one of our lucky subscribers to The 17th Annual Koroneburg Old World Renaissance Festival, Corona!
The Koroneburg Old World Renaissance Festival is gearing up for their 17th season at their permanent location at the Crossroads Riverview park in Corona, CA. The festival is different than ANY other Renaissance Festival or Faire because, they are not an English Festival, they are an Old World European Festival. It is a lively, fully interactive experience that's fun for all ages, from the first moment you walk through the gates and enter the daily life of the fictitious estate of baron Von Lauffer.
The Baron starts each morning at the gates welcoming all of his guests to his festival.
The festival is home to over 500 villagers, visiting royals and many different armies on any given day. As soon as you enter the village you see the hardworking blacksmiths of the Antares Guild, who are working from sun up to sun down fixing weapons, making camp tools and much more. They are just one of the 13 guilds that have taken to calling Koroneburg home. Others include Archers of Ravenwood where you can try your hand at archery, Science & Arts where you can meet with persons of knowledge from the 1500's and the McDara clan is crafts people. They spend every day spinning wool carving stones, leather working, candle making and much more. That's just the beginning!
There are also many shop keepers with many varied things for sale. Costuming, weapons, pottery, jewelry, incense, and all very willing to talk and tell you all about their wares. Inside the festival there is an Arena and five stages that feature full contact joust, sword fights, live music, jugglers, pirates, "Washing Well Wenches", and did I mention magicians? There is much more entertainment throughout the day as well; parades, military battle, and then there are the villagers, you never know what they're up to.
They only way to truly experience truly experience the festival is to come; Join in the fun and become part of their family!
Weekends Mother's Day to Father's Day, open late the 3rd and last weekend!
