Description

Make all of your chocolate dreams come true at this year's Dallas Chocolate Festival, held at FIG, the Fashion Industry Gallery. These are the top chocolatiers in town, and a lot of the out-of-town guests are bringing things you can't get locally. You're also able to attend a full day of chocolate classes and demonstrations on-site taught by top local chocolatiers and experts.

Main Event:
The Dallas Chocolate Festival main event is family-friendly and is a great way to sample and purchase unique, hand-crafted chocolates. The main event is both Saturday and Sunday at FIG in Downtown Dallas -- purchase tickets for either (or both) days! Demos and classes during the event will introduce you to all aspects of chocolate from tree to bar to bonbon and beyond. At the Main Event all ages are welcome. Tickets available here.

Festival Experiences:
Get your hands dirty with interactive chocolate experiences taught by experts in their field. Learn to make your own chocolate from bean to bar or serve the perfect chocolate pairing. Each class is individually ticketed. Class sizes are limited. Each class will take place at FIG in Downtown Dallas. Pairing classes are approximately an hour and a half. Tickets to the Main Event must be purchased separately. Experience tickets here.

VIP Event:
Join an exclusive first look at the full Dallas Chocolate Festival! Call a babysitter because this event is 21+. Come out to visit, sample, and purchase from the Festival exhibitors. It'll be a dreamy night with chocolate-themed adult beverages and light bites for all at FIG in Downtown Dallas. VIP tickets are $125.
