Chocolate Festival
What better way to kick off the holidays than with a chocolate festival? In Colorado Springs, the Holiday Chocolate Festival is an annual hit. Coming around in the beginning of December, this is the perfect place to shop for Christmas gifts for friends or for yourself. And while you are getting your Christmas shopping done, you can sample chocolates, listen to live music, sip on drinks, and listen to lectures at this Colorado Springs event.
If you have children, enter them in the chocolate pudding eating contest and take them to see the live performance of the Nutcracker. Admission is free and people of all ages are welcome to attend. Taste tickets are available for $1 each and are sold in $10 increments.
