Knott's to ring in the New Year with extra entertainment

Knott’s Berry Farm will have something for the entire family this New Year’s Eve with a variety of dance music, a family friendly comedian magician, Clueless Remix Featuring DJ Resso and a trip back to the ‘70’s with Elton John – The Early Years.  All this plus Knott’s rides, attractions and a Midnight Mayhem Fireworks Show in Calico Square will make Knott’s New Year’s Eve celebration the place to ring in 2013.

            Kenny Metcalf is the embodiment of superstar Elton John as he effortlessly channels Elton’s voice and extraordinary piano playing.  The show “Elton- The Early Years” will transport guests back to the Troubadour Club in 1970 as Kenny performs such hits as Crocodile Rock, Benny & The Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and many, many more.

            Guests can put on their dancing shoes and get on the dance floor as Knott’s rolls out not one, but two dance parties in the park.  The evening will include salsa instruction in Knott’s Fiesta Plaza and line dancing in Knott’s Wilderness Dance Hall.  The evening will also include a live performance by the popular band Clueless Remix Featuring DJ Resso in Calico Square!
