Chocolate Festival as we know it was held for the first time in Perugia, Italy, in 1993. The first such festival in Finland was held in 2008 on November 15-16 in Helsinki and it surpassed all the expectations as almost 5,000 chocoholics stormed the event.
This year the festival has a larger ”box” as it is held at Wanha Satama fair centre November 21-22.
Chocolate Festival in Helsinki celebrates the diversity of the sweet stuff. The event offers information and excitement to both the end customer and the business representative.
The chococonnaisseurs share their sweet wisdom about the impact of chocolate on health, wellbeing, history of chocolate, production and variety.
During the Christmas season the demand for chocolate peaks as a lot of sweet stuff is bought, presented and eventually eaten. A month before the Christmas is a perfect timing for selling and buying sweet gifts.
