Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets online in advance because only ticket holders are guaranteed admission, and advance purchase is strongly recommended for faster, guaranteed entry.
- Choose a later arrival if you prefer fewer crowds; attendance is busiest through about 4 p.m. and generally eases afterward.
- Use your designated timed-entry window for priority admission; once inside, you can stay as long as you like.
- Leave large bags and backpacks at home, since they are prohibited and every bag may be inspected at entry.
- Ask vendors directly about ingredients and dietary options, as many sampled and sold products contain common allergens.
Special Events & Promotions
- VIP tickets include preview admission at 9 a.m., priority admission at any time and a souvenir VIP lanyard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you get bags of free candy?
No. Vendors offer small tasting-size samples to eat on the spot, a bit like a wine tasting. You can often talk to the person who made the product, and you can buy anything you like to take home or give as gifts.
What kinds of vendors are there?
Mostly small local and regional businesses: artisanal chocolatiers, old-fashioned candy shops, bakeries, specialty food producers and some farms. Wineries, distilleries, cideries and meaderies take part where state rules allow. A limited number sell non-chocolate items such as cheeses and specialty foods.
How crowded does it get?
It's busiest from opening through mid-afternoon and tends to thin out later in the day. Keep this in mind if you're bringing young children or elderly guests.
Are there options for special diets?
A few vendors offer no-sugar-added, all-natural, organic, vegan, salt-free, gluten-free or kosher products. Ask each vendor about diets and certifications.
Is it safe for people with food allergies?
Many products contain common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, dairy, coconut and shellfish, or are made in facilities that use them. People with significant food allergies are advised not to attend.
