The annual Boysenberry Festival inspired by the little berry that started it all opens March 8, and just steps away, the Knott’s Hotel debuts its multimillion-dollar transformation, a new distinctive farmhouse-style overnight experience inspired by park founders Walter and Cordelia Knott. Guests will have the opportunity to indulge in more than 75 recipes at this year’s festival, ranging from savory to sweet; each food and drink item has a unique boysenberry twist that can only be found during this season.
The Boysenberry on top includes a full lineup of shows, live music, and a wide selection of local crafters and artisans for guests of all ages to enjoy. Knott’s Boysenberry Festival operates daily through April 7 and Friday through Sunday, April 12 – 28.

This year’s event will feature a blend of entirely new menu offerings and the return of fan favorites.

Indulge your sweet tooth cravings with berry-infused dessert items throughout the festival, including the new boysenberry and chocolate stuffed cookie, a lemon bar with a boysenberry compote, and boysenberry brownie parfait. A great way to enjoy it all is by purchasing a tasting card priced at $55. The tasting card offers six tastings from several boysenberry-inspired dishes and drinks. A variety of signature boysenberry items will also be available for purchase a la carte. Tasting cards are available at Knotts.com or the theme park.
Boundless Boysenberry Entertainment
Knott’s Boysenberry Festival also comes with endless entertainment throughout the park. From musical performances to fun interactive games, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Guests are invited to celebrate the heritage of California’s original theme park with the show Knott’s Preserved. Through song, dance, and storytelling, the audience takes a musical journey from the little ghost town of Calico to the Seaside Boardwalk of the Roaring ’20s to commemorate the park’s heritage. All aboard for a boysenberry bon voyage at the legendary Bird Cage Theatre with a special presentation of the comedy melodrama Riverboat Revenge.
Guests are challenged to try their berry best in Boysenberry Fun and Games in Calico Park or head over to Calico Mine Stage for the wildly entertaining Boysenberry Pie Eating Contest. Young ones and the young at heart are invited to cozy up to the cutest critters on the farm, including horses, goats, and other furry friends at Old MacDonald’s Barn, a tribute to one of the farm’s original attractions. Those unfamiliar with the berry that started it all are encouraged to grab a slice of history in the History of the Boysenberry Museum in Town Hall. Stroll through the streets of Calico and browse through all the unique boysenberry-inspired artisan products available at the Boysenberry Festival Craft Fair, with over two dozen local craft vendors.

A spacious double-sided wrap-around bar seamlessly extends the down-home charm into the lobby. Here, guests can enjoy locally inspired craft cocktails and small plates, surrounded by the cozy and eclectic ambiance that defines the Knott’s Hotel experience.
Among the renovation highlights is the comprehensive redesign of all 20,000 square feet of meeting space, complete with updated cutting-edge technology, positioning Knott’s Hotel as Orange County’s premier destination for corporate meetings, weddings, special events, and seated dinners for over 300 guests.

The happiest quarterback on earth is headed back to The Happiest Place On Earth! Patrick Mahomes just led Kansas City to a historic overtime win in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas and, like so many great players before him, Mahomes celebrated by shouting “I’M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!” This is the third time the Chiefs’ star quarterback has been featured in the famous commercial.
It was an unforgettable experience, especially for Mahomes who earned his third Super Bowl MVP award after sealing the victory with a game-winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman with three seconds left in overtime.
Mahomes continues a long tradition of superstar players celebrating a Super Bowl championship by shouting “I’m Going to Disneyland.” The iconic phrase is the centerpiece of Disney’s famous Super Bowl commercial which started in 1987 and has added a little pixie dust every year to America’s biggest sporting event. You can catch this year’s commercial starring Mahomes airing this week on TV and social media platforms in English and Spanish.
Mahomes’s performance in Super Bowl LVIII was worthy of a magical celebration. Everyone watching the game will no doubt remember the final drive in which he completed all eight of his pass attempts and rushed for two crucial first downs before throwing the history-making touchdown. This is the third time Mahomes has been named the Super Bowl MVP.
Fans can help commemorate the Chiefs championship at Disneyland Resort on Monday, February 12, 2024 afternoon. If you plan on being in the park, you might see Mahomes enjoying the day while experiencing some of the park’s signature attractions. He will also be featured in a cavalcade with some of your favorite Disney characters so be sure to join the celebration on the parade route from “it’s a small world” all the way down to Main Street U.S.A., at 2 p.m. PT.

After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

National Geographic has announced the second season pick-up of LIMITLESS WITH CHRIS HEMSWORTH, following the global superstar as he unearths the transformative secrets of improving our lives and unlocking our greatest potential. The second installment comes hot on the heels of a hugely successful first season that inspired millions to explore how to live better longer.
In season one, Hemsworth pushed the limits of his body and mind to discover how fasting can unlock the body’s anti-aging power, how to manage stress so it doesn’t kill you, and how exposure to extreme temperatures can trigger our bodies’ defenses against the killer diseases of old age, all in a quest to live a longer, healthier life. Now, in this next installment, he’s taking on four more epic challenges on a global journey through Nepal, Italy, Australia, and the United Kingdom to help him — and us — understand how to live not just longer, but better.
LIMITLESS creators Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel of Protozoa Pictures return to executive produce season two; Jane Root and Tom Watt-Smith are executive producers for Nutopia; and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson are executive producers for Wild State.
“Working on LIMITLESS was an eye-opening experience that allowed me to reflect on my strengths, vulnerabilities, and all how we as humans can plan toward longevity,” said Hemsworth. “For this next season, we are attempting to raise the bar and go even deeper in this exploration alongside health and wellness experts from around the globe.”
In season two of LIMITLESS, Hemsworth will delve into a series of physical and mental obstacles that people across the world face daily: mental agility, pain, burnout, and interpersonal connection. Amazing science and intense challenges are the inspiration for experiences that will push Chris to explore and grow as he’s never done before. To do that, Chris will need to travel to the ends of the Earth to uncover the latest scientific thinking and unlock some of the world’s best-kept secrets to living a better life.
Through Hemsworth’s travels, guided by some experts, mentors, and spiritual leaders, audiences can seek the everyday changes, both big and small, that can allow us to see improved versions of ourselves.
“Millions of viewers around the world were inspired and wowed by the combination of science, endeavor, and the incredibly committed Chris Hemsworth in the first season, so it’s with huge pride that we announce its return,” said Tom McDonald, executive vice president, Global Factual and Unscripted Content, National Geographic. “This new season will have the scale, the drama and the challenges you’d expect from LIMITLESS, but we’ve also got some big and exciting surprises in store for the audience and for Chris himself.”
