The Knott’s Berry Farm Christmas Craft Fair is a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Every year, the oldest theme park in America undergoes a magical transformation and becomes Knott’s Merry Farm, complete with seasonal entertainment and stunning decorations.
The park boasts a 65-foot tall Christmas tree and a colorful Christmas parade featuring Peanuts characters. You’ll be transported to a Victorian holiday wonderland, with strolling carolers, musical groups, and community choirs adding to the festive atmosphere.
Knott’s Old West Ghost Town has transformed into an old-fashioned crafts village that welcomes visitors tired of shopping malls to discover exceptional handmade treasures made by over 100 skilled artisans. You can watch artisans create unique glass figurines, hand-carved carousel horses, skillfully crafted ceramic and wooden tree ornaments, and more.
A visit to Knott’s Merry Farm would be incomplete without stopping by Santa’s Toy Barn. Kids can share their Christmas wishlists with Jolly Old Saint Nick, while parents can enjoy hot apple cider and take pictures of their little ones with the big guy.

Have you been able to identify the weeks the Christmas Crafts Village entry is free in 2023 yet? I cannot locate the dates online. Thanks!
Hello Trina
There is a boatload of websites filled with advertising posting “information” on Knott’s Berry Farm and the Christmas village. Google search results are cluttered with AI-generated posts, so I understand that you can not find what days the Christmas Crafts Village entry is free. I suggest contacting Knott’s Berry Farm for the correct information.
I called Knott’s. They are not doing any free days this year.
It was inevitable that the free admission to Christmas village would be eliminated. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford tickets and Christmas fair was a nice way to get a quick visit to Knott’s without having to pay for tickets.
THANK YOU for posting this!! I’ve been trying to find the info everywhere. Has been a tradition for my husband and I as a date night…What a bummer ;(
We used to go the fair frequently when we lived in North County. Knott’s is is now owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, their values are not the same as the Knott’s family values. It’s all about profits.
It is raining today, but even though I live in Alta Loma, known as Rancho Cucamonga, I would be willing to drive out today to meet the Wood Sign maker. I have one of his signs from years ago & it is in need of re-finishing badly. I might even add another one to my collection. I can’t find a telephone # to call him ahead to see if he will be there??? I don’t want to carry my sign there, unless I know he will be there???
I’v called several extensions, Hotel, etc. got hung up on etc!!!!! Can’t get any real live voice. I did find out on website that the free parking is 4 hours now NOT 3 hrs !!!! That’s good cause in the past it was hard to get back in 3 hours. Now with the rain,, ducking in & out would take even longer.
Hello Naomi
Our office is only two miles from Knott’s. Currently, the rain has eased up. But I am sure the roads are a mess.
Current parking fees for Knotts are —
Looks like marketplace parking is $25.00 and standard parking $18.00 for the day. Not sure why the marketplace parking is more. Perhaps because it is closer to the park entrance.
What date does the boutique open
Open November 21 – January 3. Knott’s is closed on Christmas day.
Does it matter WHAT you purchase while there to get free parking? Or you just need a receipt showing proof of purchase? I like getting candy from the general store…it’s like a tradition! 🙂
Any purchase from the Knott’s stores, even candy
