24th Annual Glendale Chocolate Affaire: chocolate, romance, and live music

So many good things all in one: chocolate, FREE, and fun for the whole family! Who could say no to an event that is all about the delights of chocolate? This event is just in time for the Valentine’s Day sugar rush.

• Saturday February 9, 2019, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Sunday, February 10, 2019, noon to 5 p.m.

Make your way to historic downtown Glendale this weekend to enjoy this annual festival featuring your favorite flavor. Some of the features include tours of Cerreta Candy Company (FREE shuttle from the event), a chocolate pizza-making booth, and an opportunity to paint a banner with desert plants.

Here’s the link to the event website.

There will be live music throughout the day. Besides the chocolate, this festival is also the Southwest’s largest gathering of romance novelists. Come and meet your favorite authors. For the complete author and entertainment lineup, click here.

Is all this talk about chocolate making you reminisce about your childhood? Enjoy the free screening of the classic movie, starring Gene Wilder. (Or perhaps your kids have never seen it, in which case you should do something about that this weekend.)
