SILVER CITY, NM – The Mimbres Region Arts Council is planning a trip through the ages at this year’s CHOCOLATE FANTASIA in Silver City, NM on Saturday, February 10, 2018.

A variety of wonderful chocolate confections will be offered at dozens of Chocolate Stops in and around the town’s historic district. Tasting tickets are $25 for 20 samples of different chocolate confections.

Over 30 downtown merchants and galleries will participate in distributing chocolates and offering our great old timey hospitality. Many shops will decorate in keeping with our Travel Through Time theme, opening the event to a wide variety of possibilities

This year’s event returns to its usual starting and ending times. It will start at 11:00 am and will last until 4:00 pm. Event maps and empty candy boxes ($2.00 each for collecting your chocolates so you can save some for later!) will be available at Chocolate Fantasia Headquarters, The Family Karate Center, at 416 N. Bullard Street. Headquarters will open at 11 am.

Awards for best decorations and chocolates will be given out at Little Toad Creek Brewery, corner of Bullard and Broadway, at our closing ceremonies at 4:30 PM.

Chocolate Fantasia is a wonderful mid-winter activity for lovers and for families. We invite you to join us February 10. Shop at our wonderful galleries, enjoy an excellent coffee, and enjoy Silver City’s great restaurants. Stay the weekend. You’ll be most welcome.
