In December of the year 1920, the Knott family arrived in Buena Park, California. By the end of that decade they had firmly established the Knott’s brand and the property on which the Knott’s Berry Farm theme park currently sits as a roadside stand selling berries, berry preserves, and pies. And next year, in celebration of that 100th anniversary, Knott’s Berry Farm will host “A Knott’s Family Reunion” with a summer-long celebration of the history behind “America’s First Theme Park.”
The park’s official website is calling “A Knott’s Family Reunion” “a chance for friends and families to come together to relive their favorite Knott's remembrances while also creating unforgettable, exciting new memories.” Guests at the celebration can expect festive new decor, special themed food items, unique entertainment tailored to the event, exclusive anniversary merchandise, and more surprises all summer long in 2020.
