This January the Festival returns for its 14th year in support of three local charity organizations. The newest being “Vendor’s Choice”.

Larger and more creative than ever, The GVR Hot Chocolate Festival features our region’s best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes and ice cream makers — all joining forces to make the humble hot chocolate hotter than it has ever been before.
