<p><P><P>Perhaps one of the most highly anticipated special events at Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm, besides Knott&#8217;s Scary Farm, is the Boysenberry Festival. The event celebrates the deep roots going back to the beginning when during the 1930s, Walter Knott harvested the boysenberry, a cross between a loganberry, red raspberry and blackberry, and named the new berry after its originator Rudolph Boysen.</p>
<p>Today, all boysenberries in the world can trace their roots back to Knott’s Berry Farm. </p>
<p>The Park is excited to bring back their very own farm-made Berry Market™ Boysenberry BBQ Sauce during the widely acclaimed Boysenberry Festival. During the food fest, the tangy, finger lickin’ good sauce will add the perfect flavor to ribs, BBQ chicken, chicken wings, and more. Other must try Boysenberry Bites include </p>
<p>&#8211; Deep Fried Alligator Pieces &#038; Fries with Boysenberry Aioli<br />
&#8211; Fried cheese curds paired with a spicy boysenberry dipping sauce<br />
&#8211; Fish and chips sandwich with boysenberry tartar sauce<br />
&#8211; Boysenberry Trifle (vanilla cake piece, frozen boysenberry, soft serve ice cream, and whipped cream)<br />
&#8211; Boysenberry ICEE Floats<br />
&#8211; Boysenberry Frappuccino and Latte (served at the new Gourmet Coffee Hut which proudly serves Starbucks drinks)<br />
&#8211; Plus more charbroiled treats cooked on open-air barbeques throughout the streets of the festival. </p>

<p>The BBQ sauce will also be available for purchase on the website. </p>
<p>Guests will also be able to purchase a variety of boysenberry products, as well as boysenberry plants.</p>
<p>As part of the festival, the Wine and Craft Brew Garden, located inside of Ghost Town’s Wilderness Dance Hall, will feature an assortment of wine and craft brew labels, in addition to a variety of boysenberry inspired gourmet food that’s just bursting with flavor.</p>
<blockquote><p>New for 2015, right up the road from Birdcage Square, kids can join the classic Bear-y Tales characters in their very own pie making kitchen inside of Ghost Town’s Craft Barn. With the help of Razz Bear-y, Boysen Bear-y and the other Bear-y family members, each beautifully painted scene will follow the world famous boysenberry from field to blue ribbon winning pie! The pint sized chefs can also make their very own delightfully sweet boysenberry tarts complete with a crumble topping. <em>Additional cost applies for tart making.</em> </p></blockquote>
