The annual Colorado Chocolate Festival at the Crowne Plaza DIA is Friday & Saturday, May 10 & 11, 2024, and features more than 50,000 chocolate samples from more than 80 regional and national vendors. If thousands of chocolate samples isn’t enough enticement, this year’s festival also offers contests, a Mother’s Day gift market, games and kids activities.

Activities on the Festival stage include Chocolate Bingo, the Chocolate Crown contest, free chocolate cake for Moms, Andrew Novick’s popular Chocolate-covered WHAAAATT?, chocolate tasting with the Chocolate Therapist, and more.
Saturday’s 2 p.m. highlight is The Mom Game — where Moms answer fun, simple questions about themselves backstage then join their kid onstage to see how many right answers they can get. Each right answer gets a chocolate treat, and the winning team gets two Golden Ticket gift certificates to spend at any booth.
Admission is $10. Kids 12 and younger get in FREE. Taste Tickets allow attendees to sample treats during the festival and cost $10 for 12 tickets. You can buy tickets in advance online to save time.
Hours are Friday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Parking is FREE!
