Knott’s Berry Farm will mark a major milestone in pop culture history this spring as its annual Knott’s Peanuts™ Celebration returns with special additions honoring the 75th anniversary of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip.
The limited-time event will take place weekends from February 8 through March 9, featuring a mix of new entertainment, returning fan favorites, character encounters, and a rare exhibit spotlighting the life and work of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz.
New Show and Schulz Exhibit Debut for 2025
Headlining this year’s celebration is “Let’s Celebrate,” a new musical production debuting on the Calico Mine Stage. Created specifically for Peanuts’ 75th anniversary, the show features Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang alongside singers and dancers in a tribute to the enduring legacy of the comic strip.
After dark, the same venue will transform for Snoopy’s Legendary Rooftop Concert, a nighttime performance featuring the Peanuts characters and indie band The Jelly of the Month Club in a high-energy concert-style experience.
Also new for 2025 is a limited-time exhibit titled “The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz,” located inside Calico’s Town Hall. The exhibit explores Schulz’s journey from his early life in Minnesota to his career in California, highlighting his creative process and the development of the Peanuts characters. The display offers a deeper look at Schulz as both an artist and storyteller, emphasizing his unique role as the sole creator behind the iconic comic strip.
Family-Friendly Activities Across the Park
As in past years, the Peanuts Celebration will feature a park-wide “takeover” with themed entertainment and interactive experiences designed for families.
At the Bird Cage Theatre, guests can participate in Peanuts Sketch School, a hands-on drawing experience led by an in-park art instructor who teaches step-by-step techniques for drawing classic Peanuts characters.
In Ghost Town, Franklin and Linus appear in western attire for the Peanuts Cowboy Jamboree, challenging guests with themed games inspired by Knott’s Old West setting. Nearby, Pigpen’s Pig Pen brings Pigpen together with animal friends at the Livery Stables for a character meet-and-greet.
Throughout the event, guests will encounter Snoopy and the Peanuts gang in multiple locations across the park, with additional photo opportunities and returning shows inspired by the long-running comic strip.
Tickets, Season Passes, and Hotel Packages
The Peanuts Celebration is included with regular park admission. Knott’s is also promoting its 2025 Season Pass, which includes unlimited visits throughout the year, discounts on select food and merchandise, and access to seasonal events. Discounted ticket-and-hotel packages are available for guests staying at the recently renovated Knott’s Hotel.
For visitors planning early-season trips to Southern California, the Peanuts Celebration offers a family-friendly seasonal overlay with a strong emphasis on nostalgia, live entertainment, and character interaction — especially appealing in this anniversary year.
