Although CHOCOLATE would really help right now …. Due to the state and local COVID guidelines, the 2021 Lewisburg Chocolate Festival has been cancelled. We hope to come back in 2022 with a huge bang!

Save the date for next year’s festival: April 9th, 2022!

If you purchased tasting tickets in advance, your purchase is valid for the 2022 festival on April 9.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we yet again had to make this unfortunate but necessary decision. The downtown shops and restaurants miss seeing you all and look forward to a great event next year!

Eat chocolate!
