Knott's Taste Of Boysenberry Festival Event Is Arriving To Orange County, CA
Updated: Mar 16, 2022
We are so excited to welcome Spring alongside Knott’s Berry Farm with a new Food and Retail Experience. Taste of Boysenberry Festival Celebrates all Things Boysenberry Beginning March 5th and we can't wait! We were fortunate enough to attend last years Knott's Taste Of Merry Farm and Knott's Taste Of FAll-O-Ween events and they were a complete success, so I have no doubt this one will be just as amazing. You definitely don't want to miss it! Let me give you a rundown of the event, a sneak peek at some of the mouthwatering items on the menu and everything you need to know about this Boysenberry Festival.
The little berry that put the park on the map, is doing a grand appearance with Knott’s Taste of Boysenberry Festival. Guests can catch a taste of the popular springtime Boysenberry Festival, as it offers all-new boysenberry- inspired savory foods, sweet treats and refreshing drinks that can’t be found anywhere else. While the theme park remains closed, the food and merchandise-focused outdoor event offers over 80 boysenberry-infused food and drink items which are included on the event tasting card. Guests can choose from a lineup of tantalizing delicacies and thirst-quenching drinks but instead of just talking about them let me give you a little sneak peek of some of the items that will be on the menu. Warning: These pictures are sure to make you hungry!
