As a young girl, my father and I bonded over Sunday morning Peanuts comics and The Great Pumpkin, one of his favorite specials based on Charles M. Schulz comic strips. The comic strip came to be known as one of the most popular and influential in the history of comic strips, and focused on Charlie Brown and his circle of friends. The comics were deep, and creatively integrated humor to encourage families to discuss everything from friendships and familial relationships to social issues. To celebrate the iconic characters families have grown up with, Knott’s Berry Farm will host the first-ever Peanuts Celebration. Every weekend through March 10, 2019 (including President’s Day, February 18, 2019), families will be immersed in all-things Peanuts. Some of the highlights include Peanuts-inspired décor, comic strip photo opps, new character experiences, live shows, exclusive themed merchandise, and Peanuts-themed treats.
