Knott’s Berry Farm is set to launch its summer season on June 13 with the return of Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights, bringing new entertainment, culinary offerings, and interactive experiences to the park through September 1. Across the street, Knott’s Soak City opens May 17 on select dates, offering guests a way to cool off all summer long through September 7.
This year’s Ghost Town Alive! invites guests into an all-new Wild West storyline set in the town of Calico. Visitors can become part of the story by helping characters complete secret missions, solve puzzles, and uncover the next chapter in this immersive adventure.
When night falls, Knott’s Summer Nights takes over Calico Park, transforming it into an open-air celebration featuring live bands across two stages, interactive games, and a relaxed, social atmosphere. The evening event focuses on community-style entertainment and provides a range of photo opportunities for guests.
Knott’s is also introducing a variety of new food options for the summer season. Highlights include kimchi crab tots, a grilled pineapple beef burger, apple fritter bread, mango soft serve, and a tajin funnel cake.
Meanwhile, Knott’s Soak City kicks off its water park season on May 17. The 15-acre park features more than 20 water slides, the Tidal Wave Bay wave pool, and Sunset River — one of the longest lazy rivers in the country. Younger guests can enjoy Gremmie Lagoon, a splash-filled interactive area designed for kids.
The summer programs at Knott’s Berry Farm and Soak City aim to provide entertainment for all ages, with a mix of immersive storytelling, seasonal food, and water-based thrills.
