<p>Well call me a monkey&#8217;s uncle. We can not believe what we are about to put down in writing. 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.</p>
<p>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 “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. Guests can wash it 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 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).</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Knott&#8217;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 &#8217;20s to commemorate the park&#8217;s heritage. Also returning is Old MacDonald&#8217;s Barn, a tribute to one of the farm&#8217;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&#8217;s&#8221; art show featuring pieces by the Knott’s community of artists.</p>
<p>After a long day of boysenberry fun, guests are invited to stay on the farm at the newly renovated Knott’s Hotel, only steps away from the park. The Knott&#8217;s Hotel celebrates the legacy of Walter and Cordelia Knott by blending invention, tradition, and imaginative style into a captivating 322-room “guest house.” The Boysenberry Festival package includes overnight accommodations, one day admission per person registered, one boysenberry tasting card (valid for six tasting items), one single-use Fast Lane per person registered, and hotel parking. Guests can book at <a href="https://www.knotts.com/knotts-hotel" target="_blank">knottshotel.com</a>.</p>
