2016 Holiday Chocolate Festival expands to two days in new, bigger venue!
Join us for the 8th annual Holiday Chocolate Festival in Colorado Springs! Over 100,000 chocolate samples are the starring attraction! We also have ongoing entertainment both days on our main stage - and loads of things to do! With Christmas right around the corner, there is no better place to do your holiday shopping. We've got Santa on site all day Saturday for the kids - and chocolate martinis available both days for the grown-ups! It's the ultimate winter time treat!
NEW LOCATION! The Good News and the Bad News is that we outgrew the Broadmoor. The last couple of years, we were bursting at the seams there, even after we doubled the size of our room. If you were there in 2015, you saw first hand that a new venue was mandatory. We'll miss the elegance, but it sure will be nice to have some elbow room!
TWO DAYS TO INDULGE! Colorado Springs has a LOT of chocolate lovers! To allow us more time to get everyone into the festival in a relaxed fashion, we are MORE THEN DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF HOURS our festival is open! Following the successful format of our May Colorado Chocolate Festival at the Denver Mart, we will be open Friday 4:00 - 9:00 pm for the ultimate "date night" and we'll also have longer Saturday hours: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm.
NEW VIP TICKET OPTION MEANS EXCLUSIVE CHOCOLATES, ZERO LINE AND MORE! Our new VIP Tickets will be on sale this fall! Look what $50 will get you!
ADMISSION TICKETS ARE JUST $5.00! We still offer general admission tickets for just $5! Kids age 4 and under are FREE! Taste Tickets for samples are still just $10 for 12 tickets! Watch for online ticket sales to open this fall!
MORE ENTERTAINMENT AND HOLIDAY FUN THAN EVER! Our new 2-day format means we'll have more entertainment than ever! Look for more pairings (chocolate with wine, chocolate with coffee, chocolate with ???), more contests and your returning favorites like Santa Claus, carolers and more! All entertainment is included with your $5 admission ticket!
