In Ghost Town and Calico Park,<\/a> guests can play games and watch shows, including the Boysen Bear\u2019s Pie Kitchen Games and the Boysen Bear\u2019s Pie Eating Contest. The newly updated Birdcage Theatre will host the family\u2011friendly<\/a> melodrama The Great Bank Robbery.<\/p>\n

How the Boysenberry Made Knott\u2019s Famous<\/p>\n

The Boysenberry Festival celebrates the berry that helped make Knott\u2019s Berry Farm famous. The boysenberry was developed in the 1920s by Rudolph Boysen as a hybrid between blackberry, red raspberry, and loganberry.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Walter Knott later brought cuttings to his farm in Buena Park<\/a> and became the first to grow and sell the berry commercially. The Knott family used it in jams, pies, and other products, helping build the roadside stand into what would later become Knott\u2019s Berry Farm<\/a> theme park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Knott’s Berry Farm via IG @knottsberryfarm. \u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Staff Writer \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 March 31, 2026 As temperatures rise and flowers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-245410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
