Everything You Need to Know About PEANUTS Celebration at Knott's Berry FarmEvery year, Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the PEANUTS gang start off the new year by taking over the entire park during the Knott’s Berry Farm PEANUTS Celebration! From Feb. 8 to March 9, 2025, tadpoles and their parents are invited to experience all things PEANUTS through this colorful celebration that immerses guests into the famous comic strip. PEANUTS Celebration takes place only on weekends and on President's Day (Feb. 17, 2025).

Our frog squad always has a wonderful time hopping into the memorable world of the PEANUTS gang at the Knott's PEANUTS Celebration. We've packed this guide with all the needed details to plan your upcoming visit. The event produces plenty of nostalgia for us older frogs who grew up watching and reading about the PEANUTS gang, and the tadpoles love it too.

When we visited Knott's during the PEANUTS Celebration, we were able to meet plenty of characters in the park, try new foods and experience frogciting entertainment. Keep reading for a full rundown of the new family-friendly shows, tasty eats and comic-strip-themed décor found throughout the park!

You can only use the All-Day Dining Plan at participating locations throughout the park (look for the Dining Plan symbol). Special events foods are not typically included.

Hoppy planning!

Hello! Husband and I are planning our first trip to Knott's Berry Farm specifically for the Peanuts Celebration. We have a choice of Thursday or Friday to go. Any thoughts on when there may be more celebration activities?

Hi Sarah!

Saturday and Sunday are usually the days with the most entertainment, so either option would likely be about the same in terms of entertainment (pick whichever fits your schedule best). You can go into the Knott's Berry Farm app and tap "Shows & Events" to look up the schedule for the day that you visit.

Hoppy planning!
