MAIN DISH:  Chocolate will be the MAIN DISH at the Colorado Chocolate Festival! We are planning on about 50 chocolate-specific booths, front and center in our show!

SIDE DISHES:  Along the right and left walls, we're planning to put the "side dishes," - other booths offering food and drink to compliment chocolate.

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT MARKET:  We're planning a large and beautiful Paris Style Market shopping area, where attendees can pick up something special for themselves, or shop for Mother's Day (the day after our Festival!).

We are looking for Vendors who offer:

or

Gifts, Antiques, Collectibles, Kitchen Items, Cookbooks, Flowers, Jewelry, Art, Books, Vintage Items, Home Accessories, Fashion Accessories, etc.

This is not a "ticket-sales" show. You will be able to collect money for your products at your booth. We will not take a percentage of your sales.

Remember, our Festival is the Friday and Saturday leading into Mother's Day!
