Chocolate Tour Takes Over Downtown Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — Sweet teeth, deals, and prizes are back on the streets of Westfield with Valentine's Day fast approaching.

The Downtown Chocolate Tour will run through the community from Monday through Sunday, and invites guests to get a feel for local businesses through chocolate-themed treats, gifts, and specials.

Advocates for shopping small businesses, like Daniel Taugher, Director of Downtown Westfield, said, "the promotion showcases the depth and variety of our downtown shops and restaurants."

Those who buy from the participating stores will also be asked to fill out a Valentine's Day card on-site to be entered into a giveaway.

Each business will then choose a winner who will get a $25 gift card to that store.

"We're thrilled to participate in the Downtown Westfield Chocolate Tour because it's the kind of event that brings the community together and gives people something fun to share and talk about," Marco Avella, owner of Bovella's Pastry Shoppe, said.

More than 20 local businesses are participating in the Chocolate Tour.
