Grenada is gearing up for one of its most delicious and inspiring events of the year-the 12th Edition of Grenada Chocolate Fest, happening from May 22nd to 27th, 2025. With the theme “Roots of Resilience,” this year’s festival blends the rich heritage of Grenadian cocoa with modern creativity, wellness, and community.

Highlights include the Spices, Rum & Chocolate Extravaganza Opening Party, Cocoa Tea Aquazumba, and the much-loved Chocolate Beach Bonfire.

Guests can explore the history of Mesoamerican cacao, connect with local farmers at Crayfish Bay Organics, and celebrate the resilience of the cocoa community-all while savoring decadent treats and enjoying immersive cultural experiences.
