As a Knott’s Ambassador, I’m so excited to share the newest food festival hosted at Knott’s Berry Farm – Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween. While many of us enjoy Scary Farm and Spooky Farm, the Taste of Fall-O-Ween gives us the flavors of the season, set in the ambiance of what Knott’s does best – the spooky fun! The event takes place Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, September 25th through November 1st.
The spirit of Halloween comes to life with a cornucopia of Harvest and Halloween décor that will transform the park for the season. This is your chance to enjoy the fun, dressed up in your most festive costumes to experience one-of-a-kind themed food and treats, exclusive event merchandise including specialty items from local crafters, an all-new “Into the Fog” art show with over 45 new art pieces celebrating the scary season, and so much more.
With the kids in mind, Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween features a junior tasting card where young guests will have an opportunity to stroll through the Halloween themed Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail presented by Hershey, loaded with multiple treat stations and special spooky decorations. All Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween activities will be conducted at a safe and socially distant space for the whole family to enjoy.
Just like Knott’s Berry Farm’s previous food festivals, The Taste of Fall-O-Ween offers socially distanced experience for all guests. When you enter the park, all guests have their temperature screened. Knott’s team members are on hand to quickly clean and sanitize tables as soon as guests move on to their next tasting treat. Social distancing markers are along walkways and food lines. Hand sanitizing stations and hand washing stations are everywhere you turn, and guests as well as employees are required to wear face coverings while in the park (with the exception of when guests are eating).
My best tip of Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween, is to come hungry, and take a peek at the food offerings before you visit. We print out the food list and each family member highlights the items that are on top of their tasting list. Then we start at the a unanimous item and indulge in the deliciousness.
