The 2025 Knott’s Boysenberry Festival is HERE and if you haven’t had your fill of boysenberry goodness during your visit, you can try your hand at the Boysenberry Pie Eating Contest! This charming offering adds a country fair vibe to the festivities and is a truly fun time for participants and spectators alike.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Boysenberry Pie Eating Contest at the 2025 Knott’s Boysenberry Festival.

How to Participate

Guests aged 13 and up are invited to take part in the joyous event centered around consuming Knott’s most famous berry! If you’re interested in participating, simply head to the Calico Mine Stage about a half hour before showtime and fill out a waiver to enter for your chance to be selected. When the show starts, six names will be chosen at random.

The lucky participants will be invited up to the stage where they will be fitted with their ponchos and geared up with a pie and then it’s hands behind your backs and time to clear those pie tins! To the victor? ANOTHER Boysenberry Pie to take home plus a blue ribbon commemorating the achievement!

About the Contest

One important thing to note for the Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry Pie Eating Contest is that you don’t necessarily have to EAT all of your pie and you don’t have to finish first. Instead, judging will be done based on who has cleared the most pie out of their tin when the time is called!

Typical showtime is 4:30 PM but always check the app for showtimes on the day of your visit. The show may be dark on week days.
