Annapolis Chocolate Binge Festival

The Inner West Street Association brings you the popular Annapolis Chocolate Binge Festival to downtown Annapolis for the holidays. Held on the first Sunday of December from 11pm to 4pm on the first block of West Street we have the Annapolis Chocolate Binge Festival, featuring family-friendly entertainment, chocolate, holiday shopping, and the festive West Street Holiday Light Canopy.

Start off the December holiday season with some fun and indulge your sweet tooth at the annual Annapolis Chocolate Binge Festival.  

Take a chocolate tour along West Street with chocolate vendors selling various chocolate specialties, including chocolate truffles, caramels, bars, fudge, cookies, cakes, martinis, French macaroons, cupcakes, pies, brownies, and more.

You can also complete your holiday shopping at our holiday market at the Annapolis Chocolate Binge Festival featuring local artisans with a wide range of handmade items including jewelry, pottery, candles, wood turnings, ornaments, clothing and more.

 

The live music and entertainment start off at 11 am and ends at 4 pm as the West Street Holiday Light Canopy lights up.  Make sure you have your camera ready for this magical moment.


Admission is just $5 when you purchase your tickets in advance online.  This event is not pet-friendly as chocolate is not safe for pets. This event is expected to sell out, get your tickets online today. If the event does not sell out in advance a very limited number of tickets will be sold at the event for $5 (cash only). Priority entry will be given to advance ticket holders.  Sample Taste Tickets will be on sale as well.  Purchase those tickets to taste various vendors samples as you stroll down West Street.
