Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced that California’s Great America in Santa Clara, California, will celebrate its final year of operation in 2027 with a Farewell Season honoring more than 50 years of memories, traditions and iconic attractions. Throughout 2027, Bay Area guests will have a final opportunity to revisit favorite attractions, spend time with family and friends and celebrate a destination that has been part of so many family outings, celebrations and milestones.
Since opening in 1976 as part of the nation’s Bicentennial celebration, the park in Santa Clara has welcomed tens of millions of guests and become a cherished Bay Area landmark.
“For more than five decades, this Santa Clara theme park has brought people together, created family traditions and served as the backdrop for unforgettable memories,” said Dave Vosejpka, park manager of California’s Great America. “The Farewell Season is an opportunity for generations of Bay Area guests to return, spend time with family and friends, and revisit the attractions and traditions that have made the park in Santa Clara, California, such a meaningful part of the community.”
As guests come together for one final season, the park will honor its legacy and celebrate the place it has held in the lives of so many guests through experiences in the park and stories shared across its digital and social channels.
The 2027 Farewell Season will begin in March and conclude on Labor Day, September 6, 2027. As previously announced in 2022, the park’s land lease expires in June 2028 and the company opted not to extend. The Farewell Season provides an opportunity for guests, team members and the community to come together and celebrate more than 50 years of memories, traditions and experiences before the park’s final closure.
