I can’t believe we’ve been dishing about all things boysenberry for 10 years! 

Knott’s is always a fun day for my family, with a variety of attractions perfect for preschoolers to parents. Knott’s Boysenberry Festival operates daily from March 13 through April 12, 2026. Today I’m excited to share our all the fun, including our berry favorite food offerings.

Boysenberry Festival Food Offerings

From sweet to savory, Knott’s has cooked up of 100+ boysenberry flavored items for guests to sample.  Yes, the list has grown from last year!

Here are a few 2026 Boysenberry Festival Food Offerings:

• Spicy boysenberry bulgogi over steamed rice, topped with green onions
• Reuben ball with a spicy boysenberry thousand island dressing

• Boysenberry meringue tart

Boysenberry Festival Entertainment

In between six large servings of deliciousness from the Tasting Card, you’ll want to stroll through the park.  There’s tons of fun scheduled for this special time of year.

Shopping

Shop at the unique vendors selling homemade crafts (it’s like Etsy in person) at the Craft Fair.  Or pick up some boysenberry memorabilia like themed Snoopy stuffed animals and boysenberry candles.

If you can manage to keep plants alive (I can’t), boysenberry plants are available for purchase at a recreation of Walter & Cordelia Knott’s Original Roadside Boysenberry Stand.

Boysenberry Festival Fun

My kids are all about the roller coasters right now.  So we took advantage of the opportunity to run on some of our favorite rides.  For my youngest, the recently reimagined Camp Snoopy is a great place to start.  The Easter Beagle stops by for an adorable photo op with his Peanuts pals.

Boysen Bear’s Pie Kitchen Games 

The 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!

Check out more of the flavorful fun at Knott’s Berry Farm, by using the hashtag #BoysenberryFestival.

While the theme park remains shuttered, Knott’s Berry Farm has offered unique outdoor dining and retail events. The “Taste of” events celebrated the flavors of the park in accordance with safety protocols. Each has been more delightful than the last, with Knott’s spearheading the theme park food festival trend.

In the Great Before, or the times pre-Covid, Knott’s Berry Farm hosted unique Seasons of Fun. A fan favorite, The Boysenberry Festival, celebrates the berry that started it all. The Knott’s family sold boysenberries at their roadside farm which lead to a chicken dinner restaurant. When that became wildly popular, Mr. Walter Knott began adding attractions to keep his diners entertained.

The newest food festival kicked off — The Taste of Boysenberry Festival.

As a Knott’s Ambassador, I was fortunate to be able to visit the event with my husband and our three daughters. Although our tickets are comped, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The food, shopping, and entertainment is perfect for grown-ups, but it’s all the berry best time for families.

Kid’s Guide to Taste of Boysenberry Festival

My husband took our teens, and I got a little Mommy/Daughter time in with our youngest. To say she had a great day is the understatement of the year. Today I’m sharing tips and suggestions for your family visit to make the best memories with your family.

Foodie Guide for Kids

The only ticket you’ll need to enjoy the festivities is a Tasting Card, available online at Knotts.com.

• Adult Tasting Cards are $45 (plus tax)
• Junior Tasting Cards, ages 3-11 are $20 (plus tax)

A Junior Card includes 3 full-sized tastings, perfect for drink, meal, and dessert. The sizes are quite generous so it’s a great opportunity to share multiple dishes and sample even more of the 80+ boysenberry-infused dishes offered during the festival.

Kid-Friendly Dishes

Of my three kids, I’ve got one adventurous eater, one vegetarian, and one who sticks to traditional “kid food” items. So we were thrilled to see such a great variety with something for everyone.

As far as traditional kid foods, there are some great options. Here are some locations and Tasting Card options for kids:

• Wagon Wheel Pizza: Cheese Pizza Slice
• Calico Tater Tots: Mac & Cheese Bites over Tater Tots with a Boysenberry Sriracha Ketchup
• Silver Bullet/Dippin’ Dots: Boysenberry Dippin’ Dots
• Fireman’s BBQ: Elote with Boysenberry Mayo, Cotija Cheese, Butter, and Tortilla Strips
• Gourmet Churro Factory: “Hint of Lemon” Churro Bites with White Chocolate Sugar and a Boysenberry and Chocolate Dipping Sauce
• Chowhouse Ice Cream: Boyseberry and White Chocolate Chip Cookiewich with Vanilla Soft Serve; Boysenberry ICEE Float with Vanilla Soft Serve
• Judge Roy Bean: Boysenberry Smoothie
• Mine Stage Popcorn Cart: Popcorn with Boysenberry Butter
• Log Ride Funnel Cake: Fun Bun with Boysenberry Glaze
• Strictly On-A-Stick: Chicken Tenders with Boysenberry Aioli; Apple and Chicken Sausage Corn Dog with Boysenberry Mustard
• Hollywood Hits: Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza Slice with Boysenberry Soft Serve
• Coasters Diner: Cheeseburger with a Boysenberry Onion Spread on a Brioche Bun; Red Velvet Bundt Cake with a Boysenberry Cream Cheese Icing
• Fiesta Dogs: Hot Dog with a Boysenberry Relish on a Boysenberry Bun
• Cantina: Chef Special Tamale with a Boysenberry Roja Sauce over Spanish Rice
• Cave Inn: Glass of Milk and Boysenberry Thumbprint Cookies; Kids Mocktail-Sparkling Cider and Ice Cream Float

As you can see the list is pretty extensive, and this is just what I pulled out thinking my own kids would try.

Picky Eaters? No problem!

Ask for toppings like relish on the side to make them even more kid friendly.

Kids Getting Hangry?

Hungry kids are not the most patient. Many food items are offered at multiple locations. Check your Tasting Card for additional spots. With the overlapping offerings, I’ve found the “Taste of” lines have greatly diminished since its original running.

Entertainment

Free Easter Egg Hunt

At the entrance, kids will receive a free card that will get them hopping onto a seasonal hunt throughout the park. Follow the clue to find posted eggs with a QR code. Scan the QR code on your phone for the next hint. Some familiarity with the park certainly helps, but isn’t required for the fun.

My little was ectastic when she found a clue with Calico’s long-time resident, Sad Eye Joe.

Keep hunting for each of the seven eggs. The final clue will include a surprise: the Easter Bunny has arrived at Knott’s for socially distanced photos.

The associate on duty also awarded us small pins to commemorate our hunt.

Cookie Decorating

One things you’ll see on the Tasting Card is the opportunity to decorate boysenberry-shaped sugar cookies. It’s a sweet activity that can be found at the Pie Kitchen.

Each cookie decorating kit includes: 2 cookies, icing, and frosting. You can also choose a fun straw with either Charlie Brown or Snoopy as an added surprise.

Use the tables next door to decorate your treats.

Theme Park Games

Carnival games are operating in Fiesta Village, Camp Snoopy, and the Boardwalk. One of our favorites is Woodstock’s Bird Bath as its a guaranteed winner.

During the Taste of Boysenberry Festival take advantage of this special game punch card and win a Boysenberry Squishmallow.

Knott’s Characters

Throughout Knott’s Berry Farm, you’ll see the characters of the park from safe distances. Look at the second story window of the pie shop to mix a special recipe with Lotta Leftovers. There are also characters above the saloon and retro DJ’s on the Boardwalk.

Musical Entertainment

Beloved Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies have returned to the Farm. In between in-person performances, catch a recorded performance on the main Calico stage.

Also announced, the Grammy winning Mariachi Divas are set to join the line-up at the Taste of Boysenberry Festival.

Kids will love both musical acts, plus the DJ in Fiesta Village is spinning to keep your little ones dancing.

Boysenberry Festival Decor

The most darling decor fills the park, making for perfect springtime photos. Giant bunnies and an oversized carrot patch have taken over Camp Snoopy.

Enjoy photo ops like the Easter Bunny display. Or snap your photos with the Peanuts Gang also in Camp Snoopy.

Even Snoopy is getting in the mix, dressed as the Easter Beagle.

Flowers bloom throughout the park making a great backdrop for food photos, but also for sharing the new season with your family.

Boysenberry Festival Shopping

Take advantage of the craft fair to support small businesses and find unique, handcrafted souvenirs for kids. We adored these little crocheted boysenberry colored friends.

There’s also a DIY Slime Station!

Grab offical festival merch like t-shirts or Boysenberry & Chocolate Jellybeans to remember your visit.

With 75+ boysenberry-inspired dishes, it’s the berry best time to visit Knott’s. This year’s menu celebrates favorites from the past (hello, Boysenberry Elote) and introduced delicious dishes you’ve got to try! Check out the offerings in The New Boysenberry Menu .

The other Berry Bloggers and I were challenge to a super fun contest during the Boysenberry Festival. We were set free in marketplace to select 3-4 boysenberry ingredients to create new recipes.

Boysenberry Shortcake Recipe

Ingredients

• Knott’s Berry Farm Biscuit Mix
• 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
• 15 oz. can Boysenberries in Light Syrup
• 2 tbsp. Boysenberry Punch Concentrate

Directions

This recipe requires a little assembly, but not much in the way of cooking. Which is absolutely delightful if you ask me.

Start by preparing the Knott’s Berry Farm Biscuit Mix per package instructions. It’s so simple — combine biscuit mix and water in a bowl and mix with a fork. Bake on greased cookie sheet and let cool.

I made my biscuits slightly smaller than the containers I wanted to use for serving. The do expand slightly during baking.

While biscuits are baking, make boysenberry whipped cream. Mix Cool Whip with 1-2 tablespoons of boysenberry punch concentrate. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I ended up making more so that I could dip fruit in it.

Drain boysenberries.

Once biscuits are cool, layer biscuits, whipped cream, and boysenberries.

Originally I had planned on serving the boysenberry shortbread in mason jars. However, the size seemed excessive since it needed multiple biscuits and layer upon layer of whipped cream.

Instead, I opted to use vintage glass punch cups. It’s the perfect size for a brunch or tea party. If you are looking for a disposal option for a party, try these disposable punch bowl cups.

The recipe comes together in just minutes, and is perfectly sweet. It’s a lovely treat for your springtime celebrations, like the Boysenberry Festival. Whenever you visit Knott’s Berry Farm, check out Get Away Today for discount tickets.

The Knott’s Berry Farm Seasons of Fun are like children, it’s almost impossible to choose a favorite.  I adore the darling Peanuts Celebration and the scares of Scary Farm.  Merry Farm is charming, Ghost Town Alive is so interactive.

The Boysenberry Festival has expanded to 31 days of flavorful fun at the Buena Park, California theme park.  The beloved Boysenberry Pie is joined by savory and sweet boysenberry dishes throughout the park.

But this year, the Boysenberry Festival goes beyond the park.
