About the Fest

Founded in 2009, the Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest brings together nearly 200 purveyors of incredible chocolates, coffees, candies, teas, gourmet foods, and wine and beer. 

While not sampling and shopping from these unique businesses, attendees enjoy live music, cooking demonstrations, coffee seminars, baking contests, hands-on chocolate classes, culinary seminars, and an incredible amount of live music.

By creating an affordable and accessible environment, the event now attracts 23,000 chocoholics and coffee aficionados, making it the largest chocolate and coffee consumer festival in the world.

The event has grown to include purveyors of all types of gourmet foods and proudly presents craft cheeses, artisan breads and baked goods, and unique sauces and dips.

Over the years the festival has been featured in some national publications: CLICK HERE

The mission of the festival is two-fold:
1) support the development and prosperity of small culinary businesses;

2) educate consumers of the farm-to-festival lifeline of both chocolate and coffee.
