- The 8th Annual Ballston Spa Chocolate Festival, presented by the Ballston Spa Business and Professional Association will be taking place on Friday, Feb 3rd from 4-8 PM.
- Area restaurants, bakeries, and chefs are all welcome to compete in a chance to showcase their talents and tastes by preparing small sample-sized chocolate offerings to be judged by a panel as well as fan favorite recognition.
- Each visitor pays $1 for the sample and will vote on their 3 favorites.
- The three chocolate creations judged on that day with be, a "sweet" chocolate dessert, a savory chocolate dish, and a chocolate beverage.
- The Chocolate Festival will take place throughout the village that day.
The festival went away for a few years during the pandemic but returned last year in a big way, and this year organizers are hoping to have a large turnout of lovers of all things chocolate.
