Knott's Boysenberry Festival
Southern California is gorgeous, but during the Spring-time it's especially so.
Seasonal activities, such as attending the Knott's Boysenberry Festival, have become annual rituals to celebrate the beauty of the season.
The annual Boysenberry Festival is a 16-day food and entertertainment event that celebrates the ubiquitous berry created by Knott's in the 1920's, the boysenberry.
Just in case you didn't know, a boysenberry is a cross between a European Raspberry, a Common Blackberry, an American Dewberry and a Loganberry....if you haven't tried it, you must. It's absolutely delicious!
To celebrate the yumminess that the boysenberry is, Knott's Boysenberry Festival created an extensive lineup of boysenberry-focused foods, interactive pie-making, and the Wine and Craft Brew Tasting Garden.
The festival also features dueling fiddlers, Jammin' in the Dark (nighttime dance party), vine dancing, and live music.
Admission to the Boysenberry Festival is free with the purchase of a theme park ticket. (According to the LA Times, the best deal for Knott's tickets right now is the online Knott's Berry Farm for the Cure single day advance purchase ticket that costs $39 for ages 12 to 61 and $35 for children, excluding tax and fees.)
Although admission to the Boysenberry Festival is free, you can individually buy one of the more than twenty boysenberry-inspired food, drinks, and treats, or purchase a six food-tasting coupon book for $25, and Wine & Craft Brew Tasting Card for $19.
Both the coupon book and tasting card give you the flexibility of trying different boysenberry-inspired foods and drinks.
