Following the success of its previous "Taste Of" events, Knotts Berry Farm has announced the next installment of its ongoing series, "Taste of Boysenberry Festival!"
While the theme park and attractions remain closed, this food and retail experience will offer all-new boysenberry-inspired savory foods, sweet treats, and unique, refreshing drinks. It'll offer over 80 boysenberry-infused food and drink items, including beer cheese soup with a boysenberry drizzle and brown butter croutons, beef tips served with boysenberry mashed potatoes, and boysenberry BBQ carne asada pizza, garnished with cilantro and onions, as well as boysenberry lemonade with basil, boysenberry ICEE float with vanilla soft serve, boysenberry mint and pineapple aqua fresca.
Merchandise include a wide variety of boysenberry-inspired items including event apparel, kitchenware, pre-packaged take-home sweets, as well as handmade and personalized gifts from over 20 local artisans.
The Taste of Boysenberry Festival kicks off on March 5th and runs on select dates through May 2nd. All activities will be conducted at a safe and socially distant space for families to enjoy.

Knotts will continue to implement its safety measures, including limited capacity and temperature screening and security checkpoint at the main gate. In addition, associates and guests will be required to wear a facial covering, unless seated at a table or bench to eat. Frequently touched surfaces (like cash counters, scanners, pens, register screens, door handles, shopping baskets, etc.) will be disinfected daily and sanitized frequently.
Signs will aid guests in the proper travel of direction and to remember to practice physical distancing, and seating will be spaced out through the event. Hand sanitizing stations will be available.
Further, all associates will be screened using CDC guidelines before being allowed on the property to work, and have been trained on the importance of hand washing, physical distancing, and overall hygiene.
