Long Grove Chocolate Fest this weekend

Updated 5/25.

This year, the 25th annual chocolate fest will be from May 16-18, 2025. Long Grove is near Routes 83 and Old Route 53 (about 35 miles northwest of Chicago).

While entrance to this fest is $7. Free parking is limited in downtown lots and at the remote lot. You will be in great danger of spending money (if my experience with their Strawberry Fest is any indication)!

My favorite place in Long Grove is the Irish Boutique. And after a free browse through the gallery and Irish Boutique, splurge on a chocolate strawberry from The Long Grove Confectionery.
