Chairman - Santa Dave Fernandez

June 29, 2010 might look like an average day in Southern California. But for thousands of children and their families it will be an exciting day, filled with thrills, excitement, wonder and magic when they visit America's 1st Theme Park, "Knott's Berry Farm!" 

Some families will head to Camp Snoopy for the little tykes.  Teens, t'weens and young adults looking for thrills will search out one of the nine roller coasters that are located throughout the Park. 

And still others will head for a show or to Ghost Town to experience a bit of the Ol' West. 

But the biggest thrill of the day will be "FORBS Santa Jamboree Parade."  

Thousands will stake-out a spot along the parade route and wait for one of the most exciting and largest Santa Parades ever produced. And why, because they've heard they'll see something they may never see again! 

Hundreds upon hundreds of Santas!  Plus hundreds more of Mrs. Claus, real elves and other Holiday characters.  There'll be celebrities, musical groups, custom woodies, special holiday floats and a special appearance of the "Turbo Sleigh," presented by Santa Al Hodek.   

Of course no parade at Knott's Berry Farm would be complete without an appearance from the "Peanut's" Gang, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the Jamboree Parade's special host, "Santa Snoopy!"

Many children will bring new unwrapped toys, which will earn them a special discount admission to Knott's and all of its attractions and shows.  And they know the Santas will save the toys and give them to other children in need when Christmas arrives. Details on this special discount admission will be announced in the coming months by officials at Knott's Berry Farm.

Leading the parade will be a special honor guard presented by another special Jamboree Sponsor, the California Highway Patrol.  

Following the Parade, the Santas, their families and all attendees to the FORBS Santa Jamboree will be able to spend the rest of the day enjoying all of the attractions, shows and events at Knott's Berry Farm. 

Special discount admissions, including coach bus service are available at just $24.99 for Seniors and children, $32.99 for adults and teens.  Compare this to the normal summer admission of $53.99!   Admission are available along with your convention registration on this web site.

This is not a Fantasy. It will be happening Tuesday morning, June 28, 2010 as FORBS, the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, hosts this special parade as part of the 2010 International Santa Jamboree.  All toys collected will be used for "Spark of Life" Toy drive hosted by Knott's Berry Farm and Southern California Firefighters.    More details on this fabulous parade will be found in the coming months on this page.
