Nearly seven decades ago, cartoonist Charles M. Schulz created Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the the cast of quirky characters known collectively as Peanuts in a syndicated comic strip that ran for almost fifty years. Today, the Peanuts gang is known worldwide far beyond the strip for its memorable television specials, ubiquitous merchandising, and even a recent feature-length animated movie.
That’s why the renowned Southern California theme park Knott’s Berry Farm is currently hosting its second annual Knott’s Peanuts Celebration, in commemoration of one of the best-known and well-loved cartoon franchises in contemporary American history. According to Knott’s, “guests can step inside the pages of a Charles M. Schulz comic strip as the Peanuts characters take over the entire park” with live entertainment, tasty themed food, activities, character experiences, photo opportunities, and more.
