When Is Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration 2026?
This annual fan-favorite event transforms Knott’s Berry Farm into a PEANUTS-inspired celebration filled with themed entertainment, character meet-and-greets, and specialty treats throughout the park. It’s one of my family’s favorites Seasons of Fun at Knott’s.
The Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration takes place:
- Weekends from January 31 through February 22, 2026, plus Presidents’ Day
We love how PEANUTS fun takes over the whole park with unique moments to step into the comics and spend more time with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the PEANUTS gang.
