There Is A Massive Chocolate Festival Headed To Arizona In February

Calling all dessert lovers! In honor of Valentine's Day, The Chocolate Experience is returning to the Glendale Civic Center on February 12 and 13, 2022 for another year of decadent eats and treats. With handmade chocolates and other mouthwatering treats, plus live music, wine tastings, and more, it's the best way to celebrate Valentine's Day in Arizona!

Chocolate lovers, mark your calendars for the weekend of February 12!

For the second year in a row, The Chocolate Experience is returning to the Glendale Civic Center for another Valentine's Day extravaganza.

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

Live music is also on the schedule, so the festival offers a multisensory experience you won't soon forget.

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.

Luckily, caffeine will be in no short supply, so you'll never be far from an energy boost (preferably one with chocolate syrup and a big squirt of whipped cream on top!)

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

How scrumptious does this peanut butter s'mores cup look? It's just one of many samples you can sink your sweet tooth into!

Interactive activities such as a chocolate and wine tasting event keep the decadence going all day long.

You'll have the opportunity to sample four unique wines and four chocolates, each pairing thoughtfully chosen to highlight flavor nuances that are difficult to detect on their own.

Don't leave without a few souvenirs for the road - edible ones, of course.

Make this Valentine's Day one to remember by gifting your special someone a heart-shaped box full of goodies.

Festival hours are 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 12, and noon until 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 13. Admission and parking are free. Visit the event website or the Glendale Civic Center Facebook page for more information.
