Looking for a fun food and wine festival in the Los Angeles, California area this spring?  Then how about checking out Knott’s Berry Farm’s annual Boysenberry Festival!

To understand this festival is to understand the significance of the boysenberry.  The boysenberry is a berry that was actually created by Knott’s Berry Farm founder Walter Knott back in 1926.  He created it by crossbreeding a blackberry, a raspberry, and a loganberry.

Now, every spring, Knott’s Berry Farm holds a festival to honor this unique berry!  This year, it begins on March 8, 2024, and runs on select days through April 28, 2024.

You’ll be able to eat food and drink drinks made with boysenberries.  And there are other fun activities that are part of the festival.

I’ll tell you all about this festival.  And then I will tell you how you can save money on your ticket!
