Each year, Dana Cain Events hosts a variety of delicious chocolate festivals around the state of Colorado!  Dana Cain has won 16 "Best of Denver" awards for her events, including "Best Food Fair," "Best New Festival" and "Best Annual Festival (3 years in a row!)." 

In 2024, we are SO excited to expand some of our festivals to feature a great selection of Colorado's cheese makers and cheese importers! We've always had one or two popular cheese booths in our mix, but get ready for a new expansion of more flavors and more samples!

Also new for 2024: All of our festivals are converting to Zero-Proof Events! We'll still offer yummy treats, drinks and "choctails," but everything will be alcohol-free.
