We can not believe it is already time for our favorite event of the year, the return of the Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival. This years festival will take place March 10 – April 16, 2023. UPDATE: Now extended every Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 21-23, April 28-April 30 and May 5-7.

Of course guests can use their Knott’s dining plan or purchase items a la carte; however, one of the easiest ways to enjoy the event is via Tasting Card. For $55 ($50 for pass holders), a tasting card gets guests six (6) of the more than 30 menu items.

This year’s event will introduce entirely new food offerings featuring more than three dozen food and drink items. A few savory dishes to note include cauliflower bites with a boysenberry curry drizzle, and a sushi burrito with spicy crab surimi, avocado, lettuce, crispy onions, sesame and unagi sauce, all wrapped in nori with a boysenberry sweet chili dipping sauce. Tasty dessert items can be found throughout the festival, perfect for those with a sweet tooth, including sweet corn nuggets with boysenberry honey, boysenberry bread pudding, and a boysenberry waffle topped with whipped cream and boysenberry maple syrup.

See below for a selection of some of the many items guests will be able to experience at Boysenberry Festival.
