Knott's Berry Farm Announces Boysenberry Festival, Springtime Event, March 28 through April 12

BUENA PARK, Calif., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrate Knott's delicious roots during the Boysenberry Festival, March 28 – April 12, in the theme park's historic Ghost Town. The 16-day and entertainment festival returns with an unforgettable lineup of exquisite Boysenberry Bites, dazzling entertainment, and the Wine and Craft Brew Tasting Garden. From sun up to sun down, the festival will feature dueling fiddlers, Peanuts Party in the Park, Jammin' in the Dark (nighttime dance party), vine dancing, live music, and more farm fresh fun the whole family will love!

In the 1930s Walter Knott harvested the boysenberry, a cross between a loganberry, red raspberry and blackberry, and named the new berry after its originator, Rudolph Boysen.  Today, all boysenberries in the world can trace their roots back to Knott's Berry Farm. The Park will once again make delicious history with the debut of its very own farm-made Berry Market™ Boysenberry BBQ Sauce during the widely acclaimed Boysenberry Festival. At the food fest, the tangy, finger lickin' good sauce will add the perfect flavor to ribs, BBQ chicken, chicken wings, and more. Other must try Boysenberry Bites include fried cheese curds paired with a spicy boysenberry dipping sauce, fish and chips sandwich with boysenberry tartar sauce, Boysenberry ICEE Floats, Boysenberry Frappuccino and Latte (served at the new Gourmet Coffee Hut which proudly serves Starbucks drinks), and more charbroiled treats cooked on open-air barbeques throughout the streets of the festival. As part of the festival, the Wine and Craft Brew Garden, located inside of Ghost Town's Wilderness Dance Hall, will feature an assortment of wine and craft brew labels, in addition to a variety of boysenberry inspired gourmet food that's just bursting with flavor. 

The Boysenberry Festival is included with admission to Knott's Berry Farm, additional cost for food tasting experiences within the event, which also offers a full day of thrilling coasters and family fun rides. Knott's has extended hours from 10am to 10pm during the Festival, allowing guests extra time to take advantage of all of the limited-time offerings; call (714) 220-5200 for more information. For affordable year-round fun for everyone, Season Passes can be purchased online at knotts.com starting at $84 or with six easy installment payments of $14 now until April 12, 2015.
