The 14th Annual Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival

71 CHOCSTARS - 162 FLAVOURS - 105 LOCATIONS

When it launched in 2011, The Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival was the first city-wide initiative in the world to use the hot chocolate beverage as a way to support small, local business.
This January the Festival returns for its 14th year in support of three local charity organizations. The newest being "Vendor's Choice".
Larger and more creative than ever, The GVR Hot Chocolate Festival features our region's best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes and ice cream makers -- all joining forces to make the humble hot chocolate hotter than it has ever been before.

Chocolate makes you happy:
With over 162 hot chocolate designs featured at 105 locations spanning 10+ municipalites, there's much to discover this year. Look around, try out some new neighbourhoods, and experience as many of these exciting, time limited flavours as you can.
