Go Ahead. Have an Affair. A Chocolate Affair
10 Things To Know Before You Go to the Glendale Chocolate Affaire
- Come to the Glendale Chocolate Affaire with a big appetite!
- Many of the food and beverage booths offer free tastes of their products. Not a chocoholic? I also saw items like olives, nuts, and dips.
- There are traditional food vendors (no free samples) offering snacks and beverages.
- The booths are arranged in Murphy Park which has a brick walkway. Still, there were uneven parts, so those who aren't steady on their feet should be careful.
- There is live musical entertainment at the Glendale Chocolate Affaire.
- The shuttle to Cerreta's, a major sponsor of the event, is free. Don't miss this tour -- it's fascinating. You'll get free tastes at Cerreta's, too!
- In the past there were no children's activities, but they were added in 2009.
- There is plenty of free parking around Historic Downtown Glendale. Preferred garages charge a fee.
- The Romance Writers and the carriage rides (not available every year) are just outside Murphy Park, as is the shuttle to Cerreta's.
- Warning: it will take immense self-control not to eat those chocolate-covered strawberries that you purchased for your sweetheart for Valentine's Day. Be strong!
