Harvard Square Taste of Chocolate Weekend
IMPORTANT UPDATE 1/28 - The eagerly anticipated Harvard Square Chocolate Festival is still on for 1/31 – 2/01; however, THE TASTING PORTION OF THE EVENT IS POSTPONED until March 7th due to yet another weekend of frigid temperatures! ====
The Harvard Square Business Association is delighted to announce the return of the 18th Annual Taste of Chocolate Festival!
From January 30th through February 1 (NEW DATES!), Harvard Square’s finest restaurants, cafes and shops will embark on a three-day chocolate extravaganza. **PLEASE NOTE: Due to the cold, the tasting portion of the event is being postponed until 2/7.**
The centerpiece of this beloved and eagerly anticipated sweet weekend is our free Chocolate Tasting Event taking place on Brattle Street (between Eliot and Church Streets) from 1:00pm – 2:00pm, followed by an outdoor chocolate street party celebration until 3:30pm.
Come early and be prepared to indulge in scrumptious treats! This chocolate extravaganza attracts hundreds of chocoholics!
- Harvard Square businesses generously distributing chocolate samples include:
- Hot chocolate from El Jefe’s Taqueria
- Ice Cream from Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
- Sweet treats from Amorino, Beyond Full, The Cambridge Center for Adult Education, Charlie’s Kitchen, Chip City, Dig, Fruition Chocolate Works, Off the Beaten Path, Tuck’s Truffles and more!
Adult Beverages
While indulging in chocolate delicacies, enjoy a brew! Our friends from Charlie’s Kitchen will be on hand with adult beverages. Charlie’s Kitchen welcomes you back in to experience the new and always improving Charlie’s under Owner and Head Chef David Oshima, who brings two decades of experience as a chef and restaurateur all over the US and beyond.
Along with the staples you know and love, Charlie’s is adding new classics and a packed entertainment schedule including Karaoke, Trivia and Comedy nights!
Live Music
A Winter Carnival event would not be the same without our good friends and crowd-pleasers, Grooversity, who will take off the chill (and perhaps some newly ingested calories!) from 1pm – 2pm with their heart-stopping percussion combining traditional Brazilian grooves like Samba and Axe with Funk, Rock, Jazz and Hip Hop.
Cozy Igloos
Put your feet up in one of our enclosed “igloos” – an ideal place to unwind and warm up after all that chocolate and dancing – or warm your hands by our fire pits!
If you and your family love chocolate, you can’t miss the Harvard Square Chocolate Festival this January. The fest goes on all weekend with area restaurants and retailers offering special meals and deals to sweets-loving attendees.
