Ghost Town Alive!
Hoedown in Calico Square
There is a nightly showdown in Calico square that takes place at 5:30pm nightly. During the hoedown there is also a serpentine parade where everyone marches through Ghost town. It is a lot of fun and the characters love to march with your kids!

Guests can savor the flavors of Fiesta at the new restaurant Casa California with burritos, birria quesadillas and signature tamales. At Cantina Del Sur, plenty of thirst-quenching bebidas will be served. These cold refreshments pair nicely with the delicious fish tacos at the new Baja Taqueria. Papas Mexicanas brings back a wide variety of toppings for crispy french fries, including a park favorite, the carne asada fries. Not only can guests enjoy all these delicious food options in the area, but this summer’s tasting card, Flavors of Summer, has expanded to include Sabor de Fiesta with food festival booths in Fiesta Village serving items such as potato and chorizo tacos, micheladas and elotes.
Knott’s Summer Nights
A summer favorite continues after the sun goes down, with a nighttime summer party that extends the fun into the evening. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy bands from the local music scene that rotate throughout the event on two stages. Knott’s Summer Nights transforms Calico Park into a neighborhood party like no other with a hub of live music, relaxing atmosphere, Instagram-able photo opportunities and family-friendly games.
A summer party is not complete without an abundance of food and drinks, and no theme park does food quite like Knott’s. The Knott’s culinary team creates tasty twists to classic summer dishes, from Sea Salt Caramel Iced Coffee, BLTA Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps and Mexican Pineapple Pork Sandwiches. A great way to indulge in all the flavors of Summer is by purchasing a tasting card that allows guests to choose from a selection of over four dozen seasonal-inspired dishes and drinks.
Live Music
You won’t want to miss all the live music offered in the evenings. Especially the DJ! It’s so fun to watch the crowd dance and see all the little kids get into a groove! The crowd goes crazy and it’s so fun to cheer them on. Here is DJ Sandy shores DJ’ing on the roof of the boardwalk shop.
Each weekend has a different lineup. One of our favorites is the band Hiatus. Hiatus is a band made up of professional studio musicians. They were originally brought together to perform at a theme park, and quickly became a family. When the show was put on hiatus, and ultimately closed, they didn’t want to stop performing together. Hiatus was born from their joy in music and super close friendships.
Summer Nights Hotel Stay
With crowds being at all-time highs, consider staying over at the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel! You could literally spend from open to close and then just walk to your hotel and plop down on the bed. Enjoy Summertime at Knott’s with thrilling rides, live shows, interactive entertainment, plus the nighttime party, Knott’s Summer Nights, then keep the fun going all night with a stay at The Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel.
