Knott's Looks to Recover Its Holiday Shopping Season

December 8, 2020, 4:50 PM · Following the state of California's Regional Stay Home order that closed its Taste of Knott's Merry Farm food festival, Knott's Berry Farm is looking to recover at least part of its holiday shopping season by opening a Christmas Crafts Village.

Much like how the Disneyland Resort extended its Downtown Disney shopping district into Disney California Adventure's Buena Vista Street, Knott's will open the Ghost Town section of its theme park as a free-admission Christmas Crafts Village. The park will welcome visitors to shop at more than 10 Ghost Town stores as well as from dozens of local crafters.

Knott's Christmas Crafts Village will be open from 11am to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays the next two weekends: December 12-13 and 19-20. Although admission is free, capacity will be limited. And keeping with the Stay Home order prohibiting on-site dining, if you do buy any food and beverage items at the Village or Knott's California Marketplace, you must take them away to eat off site.
