Knott’s Boysenberry Festival 2021: Dates TBD Where: Knott’s Berry Farm, Buena Park, CA A cross between a raspberry, a loganberry, and a blackberry, boysenberries were originally cultivated on the small California berry farm known as Knott’s Berry Farm. Now one of California’s most beloved theme park food and wine festivals, Knott’s Berry Farm returns to its berry-growing roots each Spring, featuring dozens of unique culinary takes featuring this tart berry. Guests can sample Boysenberry Gumbo, Sweet Boysenberry Tamales, and even Boysenberry Cheesecake on a Stick. Wash it all down with a berry-infused craft brew or wine from the Craft Beer and Wine Garden. There’s also a crafts fair, saloon show, and a pie-eating contest to keep your spirits “berry” high.

Knott’s Berry Farm may sound like a strange name for a theme park, but Knott’s operated as the world’ first boysenberry farm long before it housed roller coasters and tasty treats. True to its roots, many of those treats incorporate the tangy berry, including this monster-sized Fun Bun. The name is a reference to this snack being a cross between a funnel cake and a cinnamon bun. It’s a funnel cake-battered, deep-fried cinnamon bun topped with creamy boysenberry frosting and a dash of powdered sugar. Look for it at Ghost Town Grub during the annual Boysenberry Festival.
