What to pack

Clothing

The temperature in Corona typically varies between 50 to 80 degrees during late spring and early summer. Dressing in costume is a favorite part of attending a Rennaissance festival. Check the theme for the days you plan to attend and expect to see mermaids, knights, kings, Vikings, pirates, and peasants. Do not forget to pack in a light jacket for the early morning and some raingear for the spring weather.

Gear

Most electronic gadgets, professional cameras, binoculars, and speakers are allowed as long as they comply with the safety and privacy norms of the festival. Guests can also enjoy playing personal musical instruments or fit these into a costume. Sun protection is also something to try to fit into your costume's side pouch or have available in your campervan.

Health & Safety

Always carry a water bottle with you; cover it with leather to blend into your Rennaissance attire. Leave a small first-aid box with any essentials in your rig for easy retrieval. Smoking is prohibited in public view, but the festival provides designated smoking areas.

Where to eat

Cooking

Festival management permits propane fires in approved areas only. Guests cannot use charcoal, white gas, and wood for setting up a campfire in the park.
