Preparations for a Chocoholics Favorite Festival begin in Lewisburg

Posted: Updated:

It has been six years since the first time a special festival celebrating chocolate was held in America's Coolest Small Town.  Only seven weeks remain until the streets of Lewisburg are lined with chocolate.

The sixth annual Lewisburg Chocolate Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 14 and tickets are officially on sale now.  Organizers say the event where people have a chance to sample delicacies and deserts is typically sold out.  In 2012, more than 30 locations will feature items from chocolate English Toffee to chocolate stout cupcakes.

There will also be chef demonstrations, musical performances, chocolate themed dinners, chocolate tastings and events for chocoholics of all ages.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  To purchase tickets go online to the Chocolate Festival web site or call 866-888-1411.  Proceeds from the event benefit the Greenbrier Valley Theatre.
