Two days of chocolate heaven, created by local individuals and business owners. What's not to love about it? Come on up, November 29th & 30th to sample these delicious creations, take advantage of Black Friday sales and enjoy yourself in the unique town of Creede. Kathleen Murphy, Executive Director of the Creede Chamber & Visitors Center is here with all the luscious details.
November 29th & 30th, 2019, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The Creede Chocolate Festival is an annual two-day event on the Friday & Saturday after Thanksgiving. This event showcases luscious samples of chocolate specialties created by local business owners and individuals. All participants must abide by a few simple regulations concerning their chocolate delicacies: samples must contain chocolate, carob, cocoa, or white chocolate and cannot be commercially made or prepared from a box. Wonderful, yet sometimes unusual, chocolate delights range from tiramisu, tortes and chocolate covered pretzels, to jalapeno bean fudge and chocolate dipped bacon. Eating your way around Creede will be easy—but casting your vote for the People’s Choice Award can be challenging!
