Knott’s Berry Farm, Southern California’s beloved theme park, is ready to welcome guests back with a slew of exciting new attractions and experiences this summer. From the reimagined Fiesta Village to the return of Ghost Town Alive! and Summer Nights, there’s something for everyone at Knott’s Berry Farm.

The Reimagined Fiesta Village

Starting May 26, guests can immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Southern California’s Hispanic communities with the newly reimagined Fiesta Village. This area features enhanced theming, beautiful decor, authentic food, and immersive entertainment, making it a must-visit destination for any Knott’s Berry Farm fan.

Throughout the day, guests can enjoy the sounds of Mariachi music, encounter a storyteller spinning whimsical tales of the alebrijes, experience performances of the traditional dance Folklorico, and be entertained by interactive puppets and their playful antics. Those who venture through the newly landscaped alebrije gardens can meet Fiesta Village’s very own spirit animal friends.

As the sun goes down, the fun heats up with an immersive nighttime street party, Calle Celebración, spanning the entire village. This street party celebrates Mexican traditions of family, love, and community through color, music, dancing, and giant colorful puppets.

Guests can savor the flavors of Fiesta at the new restaurant Casa California with burritos, birria quesadillas, and signature tamales. At Cantina Del Sur, plenty of thirst-quenching bebidas will be served. These cold refreshments pair nicely with the delicious fish tacos at the new Baja Taqueria. Papas Mexicanas brings back a wide variety of toppings for crispy french fries, including a park favorite, the carne asada fries.

Guests can stroll down Fiesta Mercado, inspired by Los Angeles’ Olvera Street, and find a variety of merchants with unique and authentic items. New merchandise items inspired by the area include a selection of Chamoy candies, hot sauces, and queso. Other additions include carts throughout the village selling wares such as personalized parasols and colorful zarapes.

Thrilling Rides and Attractions

For those looking for a thrill, seven refreshed rides will be reopening in the Fiesta Village area, including Los Voladores and Carrusel de California. Although MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress will not open with Fiesta Village this summer due to construction delays, Knott’s Berry Farm promises to announce an opening date soon.

Ghost Town Alive!

Ghost Town Alive! returns this summer, inviting guests to become the star of this summer’s new action-packed storyline in the streets of Ghost Town. Each guest has the power to unlock secret missions with characters, influence the day’s events, and take on mind-challenging puzzles in this immersive version of the Old West. Ghost Town Alive! will offer new adventures, roles, and characters this summer on select days starting May 26.

Knott’s Summer Nights

Knott’s Summer Nights is also returning, with a nighttime summer party that extends the fun into the evening. Guests can enjoy bands from the local music scene that rotate throughout the event on two stages. The park’s culinary team has created tasty twists to classic summer dishes, and guests can indulge in all the flavors of summer with a tasting card that allows them to choose from a selection of over four dozen seasonal-inspired dishes and drinks.
