Description of Event:
“The Paradise Chocolate Fest is the place to indulge your love of all things chocolate!”
Experience a chocolate paradise on the Paradise/Magalia ridge nestled among tall green pines in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and overlooking the Sacramento Valley. It’s in this community that strikes the perfect balance between its Gold Country historical past and all the comforts of today’s living that a small group of individuals with big hearts and a love of chocolate are coming together once again to plan the 10th annual Paradise Chocolate Fest benefiting non-profit youth organizations on the Paradise Ridge.
Past winner of two international awards at the Retail Confectioners International Chocolatiers Convention and Expo held in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the Paradise Chocolate Fest is the place to indulge your love of chocolate. The 2014 Paradise Chocolate Fest attracted more than 5,000 attendees and the 2015 Paradise Chocolate Fest promises to be even more exciting by offering plenty of sugar-coated fun for the whole family.
The Fest will be held Saturday, May 9 at Terry Ashe Park on the Skyway in Paradise from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Fest features Chocolate Candy Land where you can dip into decadence at the large chocolate fountain or visit chocolate booths and professional Chocolatiers with countless chocolate delicacies, desserts and confections for sale. Fest attendees may also enjoy a blast from the past by visiting fifties themed Lollipop’s Old Fashion Ice Cream Shoppe, or taking a walk through the park and enjoying the musical concerts, art in the park, craft, commercial and community booths and a wide range of delicious food selections.
A very special highlight of this year’s festivities will be “Chocolate Royale!” the crowning of the 2015 Paradise Chocolate Fest Queen and King and a sweet 10 Year Anniversary Celebration for all to enjoy.
Young Fest goers will have great fun visiting the Kidz-Zone including giant inflatables, carnival games and prizes, costumed characters, clowns, face painting, arts & craft projects, contests, hands-on exhibits & demonstrations and musical entertainment and performances.
To celebrate a sustainable event, the 2015 Paradise Chocolate Fest presents “Green Scene Outdoor Classroom” with interactive learning stations, hands-on activities and exhibits. While the delicious, decadence of chocolate remains front and center in the minds of Fest visitors, organizers are proud to demonstrate how responsible planning and actions can make a huge difference while educating participants and attendees and enhancing the festivities.
Special events throughout the day include a Chocolate Pancake Breakfast, Chocolate Chase Fun Run/Walk, Chocolate Cuisine Challenge, Chocolate Pie Eating and Cookie Stacking Contests, Super Sensational Ice Cream Sundae Eating Contest, Textile Art Show, Chocolate Hat Parade, a variety of Musical Entertainment on three stages and chocolate demonstrations.
