For all you chocolate lovers out there, there is a Miami event that is just for you: the International Chocolate Festival. This Florida festival will take place at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden on January 26th and 27th and is a celebration of Theobroma cacao. This is, of course, the plant we get chocolate from. There is so much to do here you will be glad that it runs for two days. The Miami event features several lectures that will give visitors insight into how the popular treat is made and how it is made. Each lecture is given by quality speakers, including one from the U.S.D.A. For those who are not content to just hear about how it’s made, the Florida festival offers everything you need to get into the act yourself. There will be tree sales and cooking demonstrations so visitors can learn how to make their own. There are even displays of chocolate sculptures and activities aimed at the children among you. One of those activities is a scavenger hunt, something any kid will love. In addition to all this, the florida festival also features music and a spa where you will be pampered with cacao beauty products and massages. It is everything you could want in a day out.
