There will be a huge assortment of confections from local chocolatiers, plus other sweet treats like baked goods and ice cream.

You’ll want to arrive as soon as the doors open at 10 a.m. on Saturday. That way, you’ll have all day to indulge before closing time at 7 p.m.

Chocolate-themed desserts of all shapes and sizes guarantee your eyes will grow larger than your stomach.
