Snoopy and the PEANUTS Gang Take Over Knott’s Berry Farm Starting January 27

Calling all Peanuts fans! Knott’s Berry Farm kicks off the new year with the ever popular Peanuts Celebration starting January 27 and running daily through February 25. The park-wide celebration features a new Franklin-focused exhibit, plenty of new PEANUTS-inspired cuisine, a fun lineup of returning shows and photo ops that allow guests to step into the iconic Charles M. Schulz comic strips.

New Limited-Time “Franklin” Exhibit

This year within Calico's Town Hall, guests are invited to experience a new, limited-time exhibit dedicated to Charles Schulz's iconic character, Franklin, and discover his importance to history and pop culture. If you don’t know the backstory: He joined the PEANUTS Gang in 1968 when Charlie Brown met Franklin at the beach. Franklin will also be making appearances and be available for photos.

Interactive Games and Live Shows

At the Calico Mine Stage, the PEANUTS characters will perform the musical game show It's Your Life, Charlie Brown, with the loveable title character getting the surprise of his life. There will be music, fun and surprise guests, including the world's most famous beagle, Snoopy. The stage will transform at nightfall as the park hosts Snoopy's Legendary Rooftop Concert. The Peanuts Gang has teamed up with the indie band, The Jelly of the Month Club, for a high-energy spectacle sure to have everyone dancing.

The Bird Cage Theatre will host a fun and unique experience that teaches the young and the young at heart how to draw their favorite PEANUTS characters. The PEANUTS Sketch School, with the assistance of the resident art teacher, provides step-by-step instructions on creating the perfect PEANUTS masterpiece. Also showing in the Bird Cage Theatre will be Charlie Brown’s Trivia Challenge, where guests can test their knowledge with PEANUTS universe questions and eye-popping visual challenges.

Finally, Schroeder and Linus are on a Western escapade as they transform into cowboys in the PEANUTS Cowboy Jamboree at Calico Park. The boys are looking to challenge guests with some of the rootiniest, tootinest games in Calico.

The Livery Stables will once again transform into Pigpen's Pig Pen. Here you can meet everyone's favorite messy pal as he hosts a special meetup with some of his animal friends. Located within Ghost Town.
