While Knott’s Scary Farm is still months away, Knott’s Berry Farm, one of the best theme parks in the country, is gearing up to celebrate its namesake when The Knott’s Boysenberry Festival runs 31 days starting March 29, operating daily through April 28, 2019. Bursting with delicious flavors, the festival is known for the staggering amount of mouth-watering food, tasty wine pairings, and refreshing beverages all featuring the Boysenberry.
Vice president of food and beverage Russ Knibbs along with an army of chefs, hosts, and foodies, have devised over 75 ways to infuse the unique taste of the Boysenberry into pretty much ANYTHING that can be eaten. HorrorBuzz was invited to the special preview tasting event where we were able to sample nearly everything that will be coming to the park in regards to the food during this enticing event.
This year’s lineup will introduce several new food items including:
- Flavorful boysenberry dry rubbed flank steak topped with boysenberry cream cheese
- Sweet and tangy boysenberry jerk chicken wings
- Hearty boysenberry chili in a fresh-baked boysenberry sourdough bread bowl
- Tender boysenberry pot roast served over rich and creamy boysenberry mashed potatoes
- Grilled boysenberry BBQ chicken skewers served with a zesty boysenberry aioli dipping sauce
- Boysenberry glazed salmon served on mixed greens and topped with a boysenberry vinaigrette
- Spicy boysenberry habanero baked mac and cheese
- Boysenberry jambalaya prepared with chicken, boysenberry sausage and bell peppers served with white rice
- Boysenberry pulled pork tostada topped with creamy coleslaw and boysenberry drizzle
- Boysenberry-lemon hummus served with pita bread
- Grilled boysenberry sausage on a freshly baked roll topped with boysenberry ketchup, relish, and mustard
- Boysenberry elote, a grilled corn on the cob smothered in fresh boysenberry butter, mayo and topped off with cotija cheese
- Fresh-baked boysenberry waffles served with sweet maple boysenberry cream cheese syrup
- Boysenberry cinnamon sugar tortilla crisps served with creamy boysenberry ice cream
Guests can purchase a tasting card priced at $35 which offers eight tastings from a selection of fourteen boysenberry-inspired dishes. A variety of signature boysenberry items will also be available for purchase a la carte. Tasting cards are available at Knotts.com or at the theme park.
YOGURTLAND
For the first time ever, Knott’s Berry Farm and Yogurtland have teamed up to give fans a one-of-a-kind frozen yogurt experience inspired by Mrs. Cordelia Knott’s award-winning boysenberry pie. The new Yogurtland flavor was crafted alongside Knott’s and arrives in stores nationwide starting Monday, March 18, only a couple days away from the newly-expanded Knott’s Boysenberry Festival.
Plus, guests visiting Yogurtland can also pick up a coupon good for up to $30 off one admission to Knott’s Berry Farm to redeem online.
We will see you at The Boysenberry Festival when it begins March 29, and runs through April 28, 2019.
