About the Chocolate Festival

The Austin Chocolate Festival benefits Susan G. Komen For the Cure. The Annual Chocolate Festival has already raised over $5,000 for the Austin Affiliate of Susan G.

There are several ways you can contribute besides attending the festival. We have sponsorship and volunteer opportunities available. If you would like to sponsor the festival or volunteer for the Austin Chocolate Festival please use the contact us form on the navigation to the right.
 
The chocolate lovers event consists of local chocolatiers and chocolate artisans including restaurants, bakeries, chocolatiers, patisseries, authors, and catering companies.  The vendors will compete against each other in several categories, offer samples to festival guests, and sell their products. 


The goals of the Austin Chocolate Festival are:

1. Raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer by benefiting Susan G. Komen For the Cure.

2. Promote small food businesses in Texas that work with chocolate.

3. Provide a creative atmosphere and a symbiotic relationships between the festival vendors, guests, and the media.
