The Knott’s Boysenberry Festival will once again honor the little berry that started it all at the Buena Park theme park as the Knott’s culinary team takes center stage with 100 specialty food items, live entertainment and family activities — all with a Boysenberry twist.
The 2026 Boysenberry Fest will run daily from March 13 through April 12 at Knott’s Berry Farm.

The annual festival’s 33 food and beverage locations will be split into two categories: Tasting Card and A La Carte booths.
Knott’s will once again offer a $55 tasting card ($45 for passholders) good for six tastings from a selection of boysenberry-inspired dishes and drinks at 11 food booths throughout the Boysenberry Festival.
Another 22 A La Carte booths will offer even more signature boysenberry items.
