The festival highlights a tantalizing array of chocolate-themed events and activities, featuring vendors sampling their favorite chocolate delicacies, dessert demonstrations by local celebrity chefs, and classes at “Chocolate School.”

The Chocolate Lounge, hosts gourmet treats - not only chocolate, but also premium wine, beer, spirits, and live music are not to be missed.

There is something for everyone, and plenty to take home as souvenir sweets to remember the day.
