It’s a Chocolate Affaire
Glendale, Arizona knows how to appeal to the chocolate lover. Every February Glendale hosts The Glendale Chocolate Affaire. Located in the historic district, at Murphy Park, the event features over 40 vendors selling everything chocolate plus much more.
You’ll find a wine and beer garden, music, food court and both chocolate and non-chocolate vendors. Kids and kids at heart will love the climbing wall. Nearby you may find such fun events scheduled as cooking demonstrations.
Those with a romantic flair will want to have a horse-drawn carriage ride during the event.
When I visited the Chocolate Affaire, I noticed that practically everyone had a chocolate covered banana, chocolate truffle, fudge or some other version of the dark gooey delight. It was a fun event, suitable for the entire family.
