Not sure what to get someone this holiday season? Chocolate goes with everything!

Shopping for last-minute holiday gifts? Chocolate is one of the best all-around options especially for your hard-to-buy-for list. There are so many options in chocolate that you can find something they will genuinely enjoy that’s also within your budget — a win-win!

And if you live in SFBA you can support local chocolate businesses by buying their chocolate products — a win-win-win!! If you prefer to shop in person, you can visit places on our DIY Tours pages which are broken down by area/neighborhood — or you can take advantage of the many local holiday fairs and pop-ups occurring between now and the end of the year.

We have compiled a partial list of these in our Events Calendar. We have included the local chocolate and confections vendors we know are slated to be there. There will likely be more such vendors and more such events but we have a hard time tracking them down.

Hey SFBA chocolate makers, chocolatiers, confectioners, and other chocolate related businesses: Give us all a heads up on where you will be. Please promote your special appearances on your websites, social media, and newsletters — we can’t come if we don’t know where you are!

We will try to keep our calendar current on this site. If you want to be sure we include your upcoming events, you can email us with the deets.
