In honor of Valentines day, and our intense love of chocolate, we’re passing along this note from Central Market about upcoming chocolate festivities this month…

The Great Indulgence Chocolate Festival Coming to Central Market 

Decadence dances in the air February 5-18 as Chocolate Festival arrives at Central Market just in time for Valentine’s Day. Come satisfy your senses during The Great Indulgence, featuring more sinful selections of gourmet chocolate concoctions than you’ll find anywhere. Austin Central Market locations will be offering exquisite samples throughout the stores, cocoa-inspired cooking classes, and internationally recognized chocolatiers touting their wares and sharing their secrets with in-store appearances.

 

While we’ve missed some of the previous sessions already happening this week, you can still catch the session with Sue Williams tonight!
