20th Annual Carolina Chocolate Festival
Celebrating Charity and Chocolate
The Chocolate Festival was created by the late John Green, who envisioned non-profit groups working together, hand-in-hand, to organize an event as partners, and in turn reap the benefits. Proceeds from the 2023 Festival will support local charities and nonprofits within Carteret County. During the last 19 years over $600,000 has been given to designated charities. “Thanks to the chocolate lovers who attend our Festival and other events, we are able to support the Carteret County charities who work hard all year long to help us present a quality event.” commented Judy Hailey, Executive Director
The “Main” Chocolate Festival features chocolatier vendors from North Carolina and as far away as Tennessee and Virginia, the festival provides lovers of mankind’s best-loved dessert – chocolate! From chocolate diamonds and pearls, chocolate cakes and tortes to chocolate bars, truffles, fudge and sugar free chocolates, chocolate popcorn and ice cream, and even chocolate cookbooks and chocolate wine- the event offers more than a sampling of everything chocolate. Other festival activities include the “Chocolate Pudding Contest” that goes on continually throughout the event. The festival is scheduled from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 4th and from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Sunday, Feb.5th at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City.
