45+ Boysenberry Foods at Knott’s Berry Farm’s Boysenberry Festival

Posted by Caryn Bailey Leave a Comment

Confession: One of my all-time favorite things to do when I visit a theme park is to eat foods I don’t typically have access to…foods like frozen lemonade and cinnamon rolls and clam chowder in a bread bowl! Next week marks the official start to the Spring Season, which means once again, Knott’s Berry Farm is blooming with all-things Boysenberry.  This is one of our family’s favorite Springtime events, and I am looking forward to experiencing the gourmet food and spectacular entertainment debuting for Knott’s Berry Farm’s Boysenberry Festival. You likely know that Knott’s Berry Farm was once a working farm. What I find to be fascinating is that Walter Knott harvested the boysenberry, which is a cross between a loganberry, a red raspberry and a black berry and today, all boysenberries can be traced back to the farm.

Consideration provided by Knott’s Berry Farm.

Knott’s Boysenberry Festival

During this special 24-day celebration, you’ll enjoy a selection of boysenberry-inspired foods, the Wine and Craft Brew Tasting Garden, engaging daytime and nighttime activities for the entire family, and much more. The park is exquisite during this time of year bursting with the colors and vibrance that characterize Spring.  The festival is included with park admission but it should be noted that some tasting experiences require an additional fee.

Boysenberry-Inspired Foods

I cannot wait to indulge my inner foodie and ring in the Spring season with my kids!  Since this event is highly food-centric, here are 45+ foods you must eat at Knott’s Berry Farm’s Boysenberry Festival!
