Have a Berry good time at Knotts Berry Farms Boysenberry Festival Ticket Giveaway! #KnottsSpring

The Knott’s Berry Farm’s Boysenberry Festival is “juicing” its way in to Southern California’s oldest amusement park this Spring with a mouthwatering lineup of delicious food, funky live entertainment and tons of wholesome family fun – all to celebrate the juicy purple berry known as the boysenberry! All of this “berry” good fun will be from March 28th through April 12th, 2015. We’ve been invited to attend the festival, all opinions are our own (thanks GigaSavvy!)

History of the Boysenberry

In the 1930s Walter Knott harvested the boysenberry, a cross between a loganberry, red raspberry and blackberry, and named the new berry after its originator Rudolph Boysen. Today, all boysenberries in the world can trace their roots back to Knott’s Berry Farm. I love that the Knotts Berry Farms Boysenberry Festival is a celebration in their history and roots in Southern California. I cannot wait to taste all of the goodies!

The Boysenberry Delicacies

Knott’s Berry Farm will once again make delicious history with the debut of its very own farm-made Berry Market Boysenberry BBQ Sauce during the Boysenberry Festival. During the food fest, the tangy, delicious sauce will add the perfect flavor to ribs, BBQ chicken, chicken wings, and so much more. Other must try Boysenberry Bites include fried cheese curds paired with a spicy boysenberry dipping sauce, fish and chips sandwich with boysenberry tartar sauce, Boysenberry ICEE Floats, Boysenberry Frappuccino and Latte, and more charbroiled treats cooked on open-air barbeques throughout the streets of the festival. As part of the festival, the Wine and Craft Brew Garden, located inside of Ghost Town’s Wilderness Dance Hall, will feature an assortment of wine and craft brew labels, in addition to a variety of boysenberry inspired gourmet food that’s just bursting with flavor. You can even bring home the tasty sauce by stopping by the Berry Market, General Store in Ghost Town or by visiting knotts.com.

The Burstin’ Berry Fun

During the Boysenberry Festival at Knott’s Berry Farm there will also be an extensive line up of live entertainment from sun up to sun down that’s perfect for the whole family. The funky fun will be at Birdcage Square, located in front of the famous Birdcage Theatre where a stage will be set for daily contests like pie eating, a pie walk, a daily chance for girls (up to age 11) to be crowned Miss Boysenberry, and Grandpa’s Boysenberry PJs Contest, where guests will race to stuff the over sized long johns with balloons. In the evening, the Square will have guests kicking up their heels with vine dancing, a down home jug band and dueling fiddlers and banjos. New for 2015, right up the road from Birdcage Square, kids can join the classic Bear-y Tales characters in their very own pie making kitchen inside of Ghost Town’s Craft Barn. The pint sized chefs can also make their very own delightfully sweet boysenberry tarts complete with a crumble topping. Additional cost applies for tart making. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Meet The Easter Beagle!

Springtime fun has also taken root in Camp Snoopy, Fiesta Village and Boardwalk. During the limited-time event, the whole family can meet the Easter Beagle in his new home, blooming with colorful springtime décor inside the Camp Snoopy area. In Camp Snoopy Theatre, Lucy’s Really BIG Spring Show will showcase the Peanuts pals singing, dancing, and celebrating springtime.
