The ‘Chiles and Chocolate Festival’ is an annual event which, due to demand, has this year grown from a two-day to a four-day festival, allowing families to enjoy the decadence of spice that awaits them at this year’s tasting sensation, as guests indulge themselves with gourmet foods and chocolate.
All the foods sampled at this festive event can be purchased at the vendors’ booths throughout the events. The festival is taking place in one of the most magnificent natural locations in the Tempe, Arizona area and is one of the state’s natural gems. While at the festival, guests will be able to sample many unique treats from the southwest, including spicy salsas, rich chocolate, and traditional chili
Spicy entertainment is provided as DJ Miguel Ivery spins some feisty Latin beats on Boppart Stage from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. Daily dance performances will be on the stage each day from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm and will return again from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Admission is included with the cost of admission to the gardens and everyone is welcome. The Chile and Chocolate Festival is happening from Friday, November 9 until Monday, November 12 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily at the Desert Botanical Gardens located at 1201 N.
