Knott’s Berry Farm is home to an array of delicious culinary delights. One of my top favorite theme parks to grab a bite to eat, but there’s one special time each year that makes Knott’s a very special time to pick up some food. The Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival! Most people aren’t aware of this, but the sweet little fruit known as the boysenberry was actually created at Knott’s farm. Every year between March 20th to April 19th, this park hosts a food and wine festival similar to Disney’s wine and food festival except with a specific berry known as the boysenberry.
How do I attend the Boysenberry festival? What do I do? Where is it? These were all questions I had before I first attended, like I stated earlier, the festival is between March 20th to April 19th. The festival is throughout the entire park where you can either purchase a “tasting card” which is usually around $30 or buy each specific food item on the card at their located stands on a map you can get at the entrance. With the card which is what I recommend you can try each of the food by breaking off a widget on the card. There are items that are also not found on the tasting card which you can buy separate as well like the house boysenberry cider, wine and beer.
I’m sure this goes without saying but nearly every item of food located in the park at this time is flavored with boysenberry. The best part of this foodie experience is that every year they have new items so you’ll hardly ever get the some food each year which is definitely a delight. If you are planning on going with friends and family of a group of five or more, I wouldn’t recommend getting the tasting card for each person as the portions are big enough for you to share. The best part if you have any little tabs left over on your tasting card is you can come back the next day or any other day while the festival is going on and re-use the unused tabs.
I love theme parks and I love food and this is definitely a must for anyone wanting to get a little bit of both. Knott’s is also home to an array of water rides, roller coasters, carnival style games and more. If you are an avid pin collector like I am, there are also unique boysenberry based pins only sold at this time of the year as well. Knott’s is located at 8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620.
