Chocolate Fantasia has been a staple in our community for 20+ years and has had great success. Simon along with the Mimbres Region Arts Council have begun to make Chocolate Fantasia a destination event over the last 3 years. Together they have extended the event from a one day event to a 2-day event. This year they have added a third day, making it a weekend event that is attracting people from all over the region.

This 3 day event will include two nights of community concerts at local venues along with the historic Saturday Chocolate event.
