Everyone that loves chocolate is going to be making a bee-line for Pier 66 in downtown Seattle on November 5-6. The Northwest Chocolate Festival promises to be a chocolate lover's dream come true, and with over 100 exhibitors, chocolate samples, education workshops, and cooking demos - we think they might be right! 

The Northwest Chocolate Festival is bringing the top gathering for artisan chocolate makers in North America to Seattle. As an attendee, you will have access to chocolate from over 100 of the world's top chocolate makers. Imagine stepping into a building and having the entire space filled with everything chocolate. We’re talking chocolate as far as the eye can see, and you get to try it all!  

One of the many unique things about this festival is that your general admission ticket includes access to the festival’s top-tier education program. You can attend classes about how chocolate is made, the sustainability of the industry, chocolate tasting, and cocoa trade. And, don’t forget the kitchen stage where you will learn the most delicious recipes using chocolate from top local chefs. 

For those who are professionals in the chocolate industry, you can join the Chocolate Makers Unconference that happens Thursday and Friday before the festival. You can find more information about professional passes on the festival website. 

The deliciousness of this dream come true spans three levels of Bell Harbor floors which makes for a day or weekend filled with plenty of chocolate exploration. This festival is a weekend for chocolate lovers and makers to come together to share chocolate, have fun, and celebrate the rich taste of artisan chocolates and confections from around the world. It happens November 5-6 - get it on your calendar now! 

Bring the family, bring your friends, and bring a bag for all the chocolate you are going to bring home. The festival starts early and goes on all weekend. You can choose your adventure with a day pass or weekend pass. Tickets are available and a full schedule can be found on the Northwest Chocolate Festival website.
