Chocolate-Covered February In Hershey
This February, escape the cold of winter and indulge your passion for rich, sweet, chocolate in where else...THE SWEETEST PLACE ON EARTH! Our second-annual, destination-wide, month-long chocolate festival pays homage to everything chocolate. Visitors of all ages and interests will find a chocolate-themed activity, seminar, or dessert designed to delight them, from wine and chocolate pairings to spa treatments and fun with chocolate play-dough. Whether you come just for the day, or take advantage of an overnight stay at THE HOTEL HERSHEY or HERSHEY Lodge, you'll enjoy the special events and activities planned to celebrate chocolate.
