Chocolate lovers of all ages are invited to join us at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Westford on Saturday, February 10th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm for the 26th annual Chocolate Festival. This well-known local event indulges decadence for a good cause. A large portion of the proceeds from this fundraiser will be donated to local food pantries in addition to supporting some of St. Mark’s outreach projects.
Local restaurants and bakeries create recipes with one criteria – chocolate must be a main ingredient. Past participants have included BixBite Restaurant, The Elegant Chef at Nashoba Tech, Chili’s of Westford, Mrs. Nelson’s Candy Shop, and La Provence of Concord to name a few. Chocolate experts from St. Mark’s own congregation also contribute their best creations. Hundreds of chocolate fans from surrounding communities celebrate this “all you can eat” Valentine-themed tradition. Music, raffles, a silent auction, and craft-making add to this festive occasion.
Many local businesses are contributing gift certificates or other items for the raffle and silent auction. These include: Burton’s Grill, Bamboo, British Beer Company, Evviva Cucina, Nashoba Valley Ski Area, Westford Wine and Spirits, Indian Hill Music, and many more.
Tickets are $12.00 for adults, $8.00 for seniors, and $5.00 for children ages 6 - 12. Children 5 and under are free. We hope you can help us make this event a great success!
