A Super Sweet Chocolate Fest Is Only An Hour Away From Rockford

When you need all the chocolate in your life and you're not afraid to drive a little to get it, there's a special place for you.

Located in Long Grove, Illinois a little over an hour outside of Rockford, called Chocolate Fest and it's every chocolate lovers wildest dreams come true.

Chocolate Fest runs May 17, 18 and 19 and:

It’s where local vendors dot cobble-stone streets wheeling out chocolate-infused creations, everything from chocolate pudding pie pops to burgers with chocolate sauce.

Besides all the chocolate you can handle, there's a carnival, live music, and a pie eating contest.

Tickets only cost $5 and kids 12 and under are free.

PRO TIP: If you are going to Chocolate Fest in Long Grove, get there early, there's not a lot of space and parking will fill up quickly.

Looks like the only thing missing from this festival is more places to park your ride.
