Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth at This Chocolate Fest in Tennessee

I have said it once, and I will say it again: Jonesborough is one of the best little towns in all of Tennessee. Whenever there is an event, it just gives us an excuse to head downtown for another visit. Jonesborough’s Chocolate Fest is coming up and is guaranteed to be one of the sweetest events this February. For two whole days, the town will be abuzz with excited guests, sculpted ice, tasty drinks, and of course, tons of chocolate. 

The Jonesborough Chocolate Fest is kicking off its annual event with a two-day festival once again dedicated to love and chocolate (or the love of chocolate). You can purchase your tickets online early and pick them up at the Jonesborough Visitor Center to start your exciting trip through this historic town. The tickets will allow you to try out all the unique chocolate-themed treats located throughout the town, with a focus on the local small businesses that make this town such a great place to visit.

Part of the charm of Jonesborough is the amazing community of locals. Kind, helpful, and hospitable, you will always find fun individuals in Jonesborough. The people are what make this community such an irresistible place to visit, so ducking in and out of the unique shops is a great way to spend the afternoon. However, it's even better when each store embraces this season of love with a plethora of Valentine's Day decorations.

The sweets are second to none, and you will have plenty of options to try throughout the day. Those tickets will be good for a taste at each location, so keep them close by. You never know what the local community will be cooking, baking, and creating, but you know it will be both chocolaty and delicious.

When the sun goes down, the fun doesn’t stop because the event extends at night for adults. Chocolate After Dark continues the daytime festivities with options for tasty drinks for those over 21. So make sure to grab a combo ticket that allows you to both experience the chocolates during the day and the drinks at night. 

This year, they'll also have a live demonstration of a unique ice sculpture. This is a special treat in the South since we don’t often have long stretches of cold enough weather to enjoy these one-of-a-kind creations. It is one thing to witness the beauty of these creations, but it is entirely different to witness them being formed.

For delicious treats, tasty drinks, and fun with the local community, mark the dates for the upcoming Jonesborough Chocolate Fest. The event will take place from February 13 to 14, 2026, and it will happen rain or shine. For more information, please visit the Town of Jonesborough website.
