Celebrating all things chocolate. And all things that pair with chocolate, cooking with chocolate, thinking outside the chocolate box… and more

Welcome to the Festival of Chocolate!

Google Festival of Chocolate, 142,000 results in 11 seconds. It is time that British Columbia showcased our fantastic Chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakers, and culinarians with the sweet magic of chocolate. Time a sustainable festival of chocolate was created, supporting the magical, mystical cocoa and chocolate and the people in the business of chocolate.

The Fall Festival of Chocolate has been created to showcase everything one can or learn about cocoa and chocolate, meet our artisan Chocolatiers, our local businesses, chefs, cooking classes, wineries, breweries, even pork producers – yes, chocolate meets bacon. So, you can see, the Fall Festival is around for a long time – there is a lot to learn, taste, and appreciate!

This series of events showcases an out of the chocolate box experience – education, health, events, people and products. Created to support our local economy, tourism, culinary tourism, British Columbia, and above all people.

The Fall Festival of Chocolate invites all businesses to create a chocolate themed event, meal, pairing, seminar, cooking class or demo during the fall festival, usually the last two weeks of October and first two weeks of November. Celebrate Cocoa and Chocolate with us!

We are very excited about putting together this new, sustainable, long-term Festival of Chocolate.

The Festival of Chocolate is no ordinary festival – we support local businesses through chocolate themed events. We mentor students. We involve the community.
