Calling all chocoholics! Can you imagine anything better than a festival that celebrates chocolate? Neither can we! Fortunately, we live in a beautiful state that just happens to hold the title of “Chocolate Capital of the U.S.” thanks, in large part, to Hershey. And that’s just where you’ll head for this simply scrumptious one-day chocolate festival in Pennsylvania this fall.
Hershey's all about chocolate. It boasts chocolate-themed street names like Chocolate Avenue and Cocoa Avenue. And, it features plenty of chocolate-themed attractions like Hershey World.
Of course, the star of the free, family-friendly festival is the chocolate itself. Indulge in the delectable treat from vendors, including Hershey's, Small Town Fudge, and Chocolates by Tina Marie.
But, you'll also have plenty more to do at the daylong festival. Live entertainment is scheduled throughout the day with performances by, among others, No Last Call Street Band and Erica Lyn Everest Band.
Visit the children's area, chock-full of fun activities for kids of all ages. And, sample food from some of the local restaurants that will be on hand, including the Pantry Cafe at the Hershey Story.
