The event was a wonderful getaway for chocoholics young and Entertainment was provided for all ages! Samples were very limited, but it was still a great experience. The only concern that we had was that there was not clarity in where to go and the personnel at the entry way did not offer any assistance.

Great event for anyone who loves chocolate. And let's be serious, who doesn't?! The event was well laid out and fun for everyone. We are a family of 4 - the kids especially loved the chocolate fountain and then the marshmallow shooter. I liked that all the tasting items were affordable, they ranged from one chocolate coin to three. The chocolate coins are one dollars per coin.

Great time had by all. Thank you GoldStar for bringing us this event.

About the Ticket Supplier: The Festival of Chocolate

It all started with a plane trip ... and chocolate. A large-scale, award-winning event producer and a third-generation chocolatier started talking about how the perfect event would be one that was dripping in chocolate where no matter if you were 2 or 102 -- you would feel like a Kid in a Candy Store.

They agreed that the event would be completely chocolate-centric. It will support the small businesses who share their passion for quality, handmade products; the talented pasty chefs and chocolatiers whose artistry and skill make magic out of chocolate; and the groups that continue to educate about chocolate and bring all that is wonderful about chocolate directly to our guests to enjoy.

With a handshake and the ceremonial snap of a good piece of dark chocolate ... The Festival of Chocolate was launched.
