Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park will have something for the entire family this New Year’s Eve as it opens at 10am on December 31st and stays open until 1am on New Years Day.

With a variety of dance music, a family friendly comedian magician, Clueless Remix Featuring DJ Reesso 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.

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.
