Knott’s Berry Farm to celebrate 75th anniversary with new attractions

In honor of the 75th anniversary of the first publication of Charles Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip, Knott’s Berry Farm will debut a brand-new musical show, “Let’s Celebrate,” and the limited-time exhibit, “The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz.” And as they do every year, Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang will stage a park takeover weekends from Feb. 8 through March 9. Guests will also experience a lineup of returning shows and photo ops inspired by the “Peanuts” comic strip. Throughout the park, guests will have several chances to play and interact with their favorite characters.

At Calico’s Town Hall, guests will enter a new, limited-time exhibit dedicated to “The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz.” This exhibit explores Schulz’s personal history and his role as the sole inspiration and artistic talent behind “Peanuts” and its unique cast of characters. Follow along with Schulz’s story, from his Minnesota roots to his life in California and the development of the characters that make up the unique world Snoopy and Charlie Brown.

Also new this year, Knott’s Berry Farm presents, “Let’s Celebrate,” a heartwarming musical tribute on the Calico Mine Stage in honor of “Peanuts'” 75th Anniversary. Snoopy, Charlie Brown and all their friends, as well as a host of singers and dancers, remind us why Peanuts is still beloved after 75 years. The Calico Mine Stage will transform at nightfall as the park hosts Snoopy’s Legendary Rooftop Concert where the Peanuts gang and the indie band, The Jelly of the Month Club, perform a high-energy spectacle.

The “Peanuts”-inspired festivities will continue at the Bird Cage Theatre, where the park offers an experience that teaches the young and the young at heart how to draw their favorite “Peanuts” characters. The sketch school will include a resident art teacher who will provide step-by-step instructions on creating the perfect “Peanuts” masterpiece.

A western escapade occurs with Franklin and Linus at Calico Park as they transform into cowboys in the “Peanuts” Cowboy Jamboree. The boys want to challenge guests with some of Calico’s root-toot-tootiest games. Also in Ghost Town is Pigpen’s Pig Pen, where everyone’s favorite messy pal will join the rest of the Peanuts gang as he hosts a special meetup at the Livery Stables with some animal friends.
