Dates for Knott’s Berry Farm’s 2023 Year of Seasonal Festivals (and a Reason to get a Season Pass)

Knott’s Berry Farm has announced dates and preliminary details for 2023’s seasonal festivities. It’ll kick off with the Peanuts Celebration in January. Then the return of the beloved Boysenberry Festival in March. The summer has the most looked forward to premier with the return of Fiesta Village! This area of the park is being completely refurbished with some new food locations. Among the refurbishment is a brand new version of the classic Montezuma’s Revenge, which is called MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress. Next, in September has the return of the fan favorite Scary Farm and Spooky Farm. Then to top off the 2023 season is Merry Farm in November.

It is a lot to do within the year, and now is a great time to get a Season Pass for 2023. I say that having one myself and enjoying the park many times throughout the year. It really is needed to see and do everything as many times we only scratch the surface on the first day of each festival! Below is the press release and more details on each festival:
