Chocolate Fest, Chef Craig Stoll Cooking Demo & Chefs of Compassion Event
17th Annual Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival
It’s a total chocolate weekend in store, noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 8-9, when the 17th Annual Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival rolls into San Francisco’s Ghirardelli Square.
Take part in an ice cream eating contest, in which contestants will have to down a famous Ghirardelli “Earthquake Sundae.” Join the chocolate scavenger hunt. Watch chef demonstrations. And enjoy the first ever festival bake-off with treats made from Ghirardelli products.
The chocolate extravaganza is a benefit for Project Open Hand, which provides meals to those who are homebound. Last year, $63,000 was raised.
Tickets are $20 each, which will get you 15 samples.
