The experience
What's special
The Koroneburg Renaissance Festival is one of the only permanently built Renaissance faires in Southern California - a purpose-built German village of the 1450-1600 period in Eastvale, near Corona in the Inland Empire, founded in 1998. Its permanent buildings and history-focused guilds give it strong immersion, and it leans into interactive, educational content: in-period games, feasts, a sit-down period restaurant, and the Knights of the Fabled Reader program that grants children free entry and a knighting ceremony for completing a book report. It runs late-spring weekends, and after its 2026 season the festival announced a 2027 return (its 29th year), May 29 through June 27.
What people love
Attendees consistently describe Koroneburg as the intimate, less-crowded, better-immersion alternative to the big Irwindale faire: its permanent buildings make it feel like a real village rather than a tent city, the guilds and cast are easy to interact with in a relaxed pace, parking is easier, and the gate price is lower. The trade-offs are size and heat - it is smaller with fewer activities than the largest faires, and its late-spring/early-summer dates can run hot and dusty. Attendees also flag that the site's future has been uncertain, with a community campaign to renew the venue's lease.

Costumes & what to wear
Do I need a costume?
Costumes are welcome but optional, you can come in your civvies or in a costume of your choice, and regulars say it is much more fun in garb but nobody minds either way. A costume rental option is noted by the community, and the smaller, less-crowded grounds make it a relaxed place to dress up
Costume rules
Guests may wear swords and other renaissance-appropriate weaponry as part of a costume, but they must be peace-tied so they cannot be drawn in the park (security can help at the gate); functional muskets are not allowed for guests. Well-behaved leashed pets are permitted
Weapons policy
Renaissance-appropriate costume weapons must be peace-tied and cannot be drawn; guests may not bring functional muskets (only pre-approved performers)
Joining in
One of the only permanently built Renaissance faires in Southern California, with in-period games, feasts, guild encampments, and audience-participation content; the Knights of the Fabled Reader (LORE) program rewards children who complete a book report with free entry and a knighting ceremony

Budget stays 1
Eastvale/Norco, CA, a few miles from Riverview Recreation Park and close to ONT
≈ $120-160 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Mid-range hotels 2
Corona, CA, a short drive south of the festival grounds
≈ $140-180 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Corona, CA, about 10-15 min south of the festival site off I-15
≈ $130-180 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Airbnb & private camping
Eastvale, Corona, Norco, and Jurupa Valley all have strong vacation-rental inventory within 10-20 minutes of the site, handy given the festival's late-spring/early-summer weekend run. Rates are moderate for the Inland Empire; book ahead for Memorial Day weekend, the festival's busiest
Search Airbnb →The festival grounds do not offer overnight camping, and suburban Eastvale is not camping country. Hipcamp's nearest private-land tent and RV listings sit out toward the Cleveland National Forest and the Temescal/Lake Elsinore area to the south, a scenic but 30-45 minute basecamp rather than a next-door one, so a nearby hotel or rental is the realistic choice for most
