Celebrate the Famous Little Berry That Put Knott’s Berry Farm on the Map  

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.

New savory items include “The Stack” boysenberry BBQ pulled pork over boysenberry corn bread and coleslaw, French toast stuffed with boysenberry cream cheese, and Thai crunch peanut salad with boysenberry peanut dressing.

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. Wash it all down with one of the many boysenberry drinks such as a boysenberry sangria, boysenberry and lavender lemonade, boysenberry tequila smash and so much more.

A great way to enjoy it all is by purchasing a Tasting Card for $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. NOW 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.
