Chocolate season in Óbidos begins a little later this year, 25 April to 5 May. The International Festival of Chocolate in Óbidos (Festival Internacional de Chocolate de Óbidos) returns for yet another fun and fattening affair of chocolate, chocolate and MORE chocolate. Kids and adults alike delight as this picturesque walled city is turned into a fantasy of cocoa and fudge. Chocolate tastings, chocolate culinary delights, classes, and other activities make this festival a fun day for the whole family.
The theme for 2019 is “Chocolate and Sports!” Expect amazing chocolate sculptures of sports heroes and activities incorporating the dark delicacy in activities and games.
The program for 2019 includes many chocolate and sweets workshops and lectures. There is also a chocolate sculpture exhibition, and you can actually watch Chef Abner Ivan construct his chocolate sculpture. Kids can play in the chocolate house and everyone can attend the chocolate party. The full program will be available soon.
