Honoring Tradition, Looking Ahead

New Stewardship. New Date. Same Chocolate Fest You Love.

For more than four decades, Chocolate Fest has brought Peninsula chocolate lovers together for an afternoon of tastings, community, and celebration.

Now, Chocolate Fest enters its biggest transition yet. Stewardship of this beloved tradition is being passed from the Congregational Church of the Peninsula to the San Mateo County Health Foundation, ensuring the event can continue to grow and thrive for years to come.

As plans are thoughtfully developed for the future of the event, Chocolate Fest will pause in 2026 and return on Saturday, February 6, 2027.

Guests can still expect the same beloved experience: incredible chocolate tastings, artisan vendors, live entertainment, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has long defined Chocolate Fest.

The 2027 event will continue to be hosted at the historic Congregational Church of the Peninsula in Belmont, whose iconic setting remains an important part of the tradition.

Stay tuned for ticket announcements and event updates as plans unfold for Chocolate Fest’s sweet return in 2027.

Chocolate lovers beware — this weekend could put you over the edge.
