VALLEJO, Calif. — February 19, 2021 — Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the Thrill Capital of Northern California, in partnership with LAVA Productions and The Northern California Renaissance Faire, today announced a new whimsical event — Renaissance Days. A unique limited time addition to the park’s popular Marine World Experience, Renaissance Days will transport guests back to the Renaissance Era as they encounter wondrous characters in colorful costumes, hearty food, period shops, and fanciful décor, in a safe and fun environment.
