A Franklin-focused gallery exhibit in Calico Town Hall examines the pop cultural significance of the newspaper comic strip character created by Charles M. Schulz in 1968.

The Knott’s seasonal celebration features more than 30 Peanuts-inspired menu items found throughout the park — including a host of mac-and-cheese menu items paired with pancakes, waffle cones, funnel cakes and burritos.

Usually the annual Knott’s Peanuts Celebration is centered in Camp Snoopy — which features more than a dozen kiddie rides including the Peanuts-themed Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies, Linus Launcher and Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer.

But this year Camp Snoopy is undergoing a major makeover set to debut Memorial Day Weekend 2024 that will add a new family coaster and super-sized kids swing and update an off-road rally race and miniature train ride.
