The Northern California Renaissance Faire, presented by Play Faire Productions, brings to life a colorful, bustling Elizabethan village, complete with a championship joust, traditional English fare and ales, many stages of non-stop entertainment, costumed characters, and a one of a kind marketplace full of unique hand crafted wares and endless activities including our Celtic Rock Concert Series every Saturday at the end of the day. We are excited to introduce two new environments this year; The Enchanted Garden for children of all ages and The Dockside Alley for mature revelers.
