Knott’s Berry Farm announced a brand new event, the Taste of Knott’s starting August 21st in Buena Park, California.
As a Knott’s Ambassador, my family & I receive complimentary admission. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Being the bearer of good news makes me so happy! I’m thrilled to report that the successful Knott’s Taste of Calico event has yielded an expanded opportunity for guests.
While the theme park remains closed, Knott’s Berry Farm is introducing another new outdoor dining and retail experience beginning August 21 with the all-new Taste of Knott’s.
Expanding upon the popular Taste of Calico introduced earlier this month, Taste of Knott’s will celebrate classic flavors from around the park including new and one-of-a-kind food, drink, and merchandise offerings throughout Ghost Town, Fiesta Village and Boardwalk.
With over 35 food and drink items to choose from, the Taste of Knott’s event will offer more food variety with the addition of Mexican-inspired cuisine, Knott’s famous BBQ offerings and classic Knott’s dishes pulled from the pages of the celebrated Knott’s Berry Farm Cookbook.
Guests can also stroll through the park event areas, shopping at the 14 artisan booths or at select Knott’s retail stores to purchase special limited event merchandise.

Taste of Knott’s Safety Protocols
Realizing that everyone’s comfort levels are different, it’s important to share the safety protocols in place. In an effort of full disclosure, my family and I have higher risk members and are not ready to be out in public. I’m hopeful providing the procedures will allow you to make the best decisions for your own family.
Temperature screenings are required for all guests upon entry.
Tasting Cards are limited to ensure social distancing protocols can be maintained.
Seating is available throughout the park to enjoy your tasting card and a la carte items. Tables are appropriately distanced.
Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the park.
Facial coverings are required, except when eating. Relaxation zones have been constructed where masks can be temporarily removed while still maintaining distances.
