This celebration of food and live entertainment includes outrageous boysenberry-inspired food and drinks, and interactive shows for the entire family.
Summer
Entertainment fills the park from sunup to sundown – and Knott’s is open late so guests have extra time to see and do it all. The interactive entertainment experience, Ghost Town Alive!, immerses guests in new stories and adventures in the familiar town of Calico. Ghost Town Alive! allows guests to live the west through inventive new ways to interact with characters and environments as each day, a different story will unfold throughout all of Ghost Town.

With a hub of live music, unique summer food offerings, Instagram-able photo opportunities, interactive experiences, and family-friendly games, Knott’s summer nights will be ones to remember.
Fall
October means the return of Knott’s Spooky Farm, the not-so-scary celebration of Halloween cheer rather than fear. The kid-friendly park wide celebration invites families to join in on the Halloween fun with live entertainment, hands on activities, costume contests and more.
But when darkness falls over the park on select nights in September and October, the monsters of Knott’s Scary Farm return to prowl the park and prey upon even the bravest guests. Nightmares never end… at the world’s first and most haunting Halloween theme park experience. Knott’s Scary Farm requires separate admission and is not recommended for guests under 13 years of age.
