The “Main” Chocolate Festival features chocolatier vendors from North Carolina and as far away as Tennessee and Virginia, the festival provides lovers of mankind’s best-loved dessert – chocolate! From chocolate diamonds and pearls, chocolate cakes and tortes to chocolate bars, truffles, fudge and sugar free chocolates, chocolate popcorn and ice cream, and even chocolate cookbooks and chocolate wine- the event offers more than a sampling of everything chocolate. Other festival activities include the “Chocolate Pudding Contest” that goes on continually throughout the event.

Other CHOCOLATE features of the festival are the outside events that take place along with the weekend! Such as the Pro/Am Bake OFF that allows anyone to enter to win ...weather you are considered a professional or amateur at baking a chocolate cake delight!
