Every spring, Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, transforms into a culinary paradise as it hosts the annual Boysenberry Festival. This beloved event celebrates the humble boysenberry, a cross between a blackberry, raspberry, and loganberry, which was first cultivated by Walter Knott himself. From tantalizing treats to thrilling entertainment, the Boysenberry Festival offers something for everyone to enjoy.
One of the highlights of the Boysenberry Festival is undoubtedly the array of mouthwatering boysenberry-inspired dishes available throughout the park. Visitors can indulge in sweet and savory delights such as boysenberry barbecue wings, boysenberry pulled pork sandwiches, and boysenberry pie slices served with a dollop of whipped cream. For those craving a refreshing beverage, there are boysenberry beer, boysenberry wine, and boysenberry-infused lemonades to quench your thirst. Our favorites were the Boysenberry layered cheesecake, the Boysenberry BBQ Beef Barbacoa on Mac and Cheese with Green Onions, Cucumber and Boysenberry lemonade, Boysenberry Beignets and Boysenberry tea with Boba. It was definitely worth it to get the Boysenberry Taste Card which comes with 6 tastings of your choice.
