Join us for a day of pure chocolate indulgence that includes a multitude of homemade, scrumptious confections, fondue, children's activities, contests and music. We are also pleased to host The Chocolate Chase 5K run/ walk (signup form link). The race begins at 8 a.m., so you'll be finished in time for the start of the festival!
