Sure visiting Knott’s Berry Farm is FUN for the various shows, attractions and rides. However, when it comes to California’s original theme park, the boysenberry is what reigns supreme! So that is why we are ecstatic to hear of California loosening restrictions to allow Knott’s to put on an all new event, the Taste of Boysenberry Farm select days this spring.

Taste of Knott’s Berry Farm will take place on scheduled dates March 5-7, March 12-14, March 19-21, March 26–April 11, April 16-18, April 23-25 and April 30-May 2, 2021. General event hours are: Mondays through Saturdays 12pm to 9pm and Sundays 12pm to 8pm. Dates and hours subject to change without notice.

Guests can catch a taste of the popular springtime Boysenberry Festival, as Knott’s offers all-new boysenberry-inspired savory foods, sweet treats and refreshing drinks that can not be found anywhere else. While the theme park remains closed, the food and merchandise-focused outdoor event offers over 80 boysenberry-infused food and drink items which are included on the event tasting card. Guests can choose from a lineup of tantalizing delicacies such as beer cheese soup with a boysenberry drizzle and brown butter croutons, beef tips served with creamy boysenberry mashed potatoes, and boysenberry BBQ carne asada pizza garnished with cilantro and onions, plus options for all dietary preferences. Thirst-quenching drinks include boysenberry lemonade with basil, boysenberry ICEE float with vanilla soft serve, boysenberry mint and pineapple aqua fresca and so much more. Guests can also shop from a wide variety of boysenberry-inspired merchandise including event apparel, kitchenware and pre-packaged take-home sweets. In addition, they will find handmade and personalized gifts from over 20 artisan local crafters offering unique boysenberry items.
