Knott's Peanuts Celebration Returns with Entertainment for 2026
New Entertainment along with fan favorites return to The PEANUTS Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm . The fun starts January 31 through February 22 , weekends only.
New! On-the-move musical Knott's Express Trolly, a traveling musical adventure that will feature toe-tapping dance numbers, heartwarming songs from the Golden Age and plenty of other surprises along the way for Charlie Brown and his friends. For each show, the trolley will make three stops in the Boardwalk area, Charleston Circle and near Boardwalk Ballroom. Music and dance inspired by each stop's location will include "Put on a Happy Face" to "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile." The performance will deliver dapper costumes, streamers and whimsical joy for everyone to enjoy.
Over in Calico's Town Hall, guests will enter the new, limited-time exhibition, "Kite Flying Foibles", organized by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center. This exhibition explores kite-flying with the Peanuts gang through high-quality reproductions of original Peanuts comic strips, drawings, and photos. Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz admitted that he was never very good at flying kites, and unfortunately, poor Charlie Brown fares even worse. Of Charlie Brown's many frustrations, one of the biggest involves kites. In this exhibition, visitors will be swept away by the humor and relatability that made Schulz's strip soar.
Let's Celebrate will offer a heartwarming musical tribute with Snoopy, Charlie Brown and all their friends, as well as a host of singers and dancers reminding audiences why Peanuts is still beloved after 75 years!
Must See! At nightfall the stage will host Snoopy's Legendary Rooftop Concert where the PEANUTS gang and the indie band The Jelly of the Month Club will perform a high- energy spectacle, sure to have everyone dancing. Location: The Calico Mine Stage,
