The annual two-day festival usually is held the first full weekend in February. In 2010, the festival will be held March 6-7 (due to inclement weather in February).
Among the events planned each year are the Taste of Chocolate, featuring chocolate vendors selling their wares; the Chocolate Challenge, an arts extravaganza where the medium is chocolate; the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast featuring chocolate chip pancakes; historic re-enactments; children's activities; a craft show at Fire Station 3 sponsored by the Auxiliary to the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department; open houses at historic buildings; and much more. Some events require a fee, and other events are free to all visitors.
