BUENA PARK, Calif. – This year’s Knott’s Boysenberry Festival is a little sweeter! Southern California’s first theme park is marking its 10th anniversary of the beloved festival that celebrates the famous berry with more than 80 savory and sweet boysenberry menu items, a new line-up of shows, live music, 10th anniversary merchandise, and a wide selection of local crafters and artisans. Knott’s Boysenberry Festival operates daily from March 28 through April 27.
Cheers to 10 Years with Boysenberry Beer
There’s no better way to celebrate 10 years of the Knott’s Boysenberry Festival than experiencing more than 80 signature boysenberry menu offerings. New savory items include a double-stuffed baked potato with boysenberry BBQ pulled pork and jalapeno chips, boysenberry short rib lasagna, and a boysenberry BBQ, all-beef meatball hoagie with provolone cheese. New sweet treats include boysenberry cheesecake crisp pie, a vegan white chocolate and boysenberry tart, and a boysenberry ice cream sandwich. Returning favorites include boysenberry elote, boysenberry honey garlic chicken wings, and boysenberry sausage on a hoagie. Guests can wash it down with one of the many boysenberry drinks such as the Boysenberry West Coast IPA or new offerings that include a boysenberry lime Mexican lager, boysenberry and lavender lemonade, boysenberry jalapeno lime seltzer and so much more. A great way to enjoy it all is by purchasing a tasting card priced at $55. The tasting card offers six tastings from several boysenberry-inspired dishes and drinks. Tasting cards are available at Knotts.com or at the theme park. Season Passholders can receive an even sweeter deal by purchasing tasting cards online. Until March 30, Passholders can buy tasting cards online for $45 ($10 discount).
New Boysenberry Entertainment
No boysenberry festival is complete without a boysenberry pie eating contest, and this year has a twist. The NEW Boysen Bear’s Pie Kitchen Games in Calico Park invites guests to help thwart those sneaky coyote pups, Moxie and Brawny, from stealing all the pies! Once they save the day, they can celebrate
on the Calico Mine Stage at the Boysen Bear’s Pie Eating Contest. The adventures continue at the Birdcage Theatre with The Great Bank Robbery, an all-new show that will have the audience cheering the hero and booing the villain.
Knott's Preserved is back as guests are taken on a musical journey from the little ghost town of Calico to the Seaside Boardwalk of the Roaring '20s to commemorate the park's heritage. Also returning is Old MacDonald's Barn, a tribute to one of the farm's original attractions. Guests of all ages can enjoy the cutest critters on the farm, including horses, goats, and other furry friends. At the History of the Boysenberry Museum at Town Hall, guests can learn all about the little berry that had a big impact on the Knott family and Southern California. In the streets of Ghost Town, the yearly Boysenberry Festival Crafts Fair will be back in full swing with unique boysenberry-inspired artisan products from over two dozen local craft vendors. Also, returning to The Factory Store, come celebrate all things Boysenberry with fan favorite the “Tied Up in Knott's" art show featuring pieces by the Knott’s community of artists.
