A Festival of Chocolate at Fairchild

Fairchild's Festival of Chocolate turns 20 this year: a weekend of chocolate tastings, pairings and chocolate-making across the garden, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. both days, with garden admission included in the ticket. The 2027 kids' schedule isn't posted yet; last year's festival had Chocolate Olympics for ages 4–6 and 7–12, a Kids Lab with chocolate painting and crafts, bubble dance parties and a chocolate scavenger hunt. A family four-pack (two adults and two kids 3–11) is $85.95 in advance; tasting flights and The Chocolate Reserve lounge cost extra, and Fairchild members get free tickets.
