Chocolate Festival
M&T Bank Stadium, home to the beloved Baltimore Ravens during football season, will host a very different kind of event today, when the grand arena welcomes in Baltimore's annual chocolate festival, the Chocolate Affair. Over 50 of Baltimore's best restaurants, caterers and chocolatiers provide a wealth of delicious goods, and all proceeds to benefit Health Care for the Homeless of Maryland. This year's festival is a great way to support a good cause by, of all things, eating chocolate.
The price tag (tickets range from $75 and $150 dollars) is quite steep, but for that tidy sum, attendees are treated to an astonishing array of food and entertainment, all packed into the hours of 6 to 9:30 p.m. In addition to some of the finest chocolate, hors d'oeuvres and entrees in Baltimore, the event features legendary Orioles' catcher Rick Dempsey (the 1983 World Series MVP) as the honorary chair and will have auctions, dancing, live music and even spa treatments to go with the food.
This is the Chocolate Affair's 19th year and the fifth year in which the event has been partnered with Health Care for the Homeless (HCH). HCH is a charity organization that works to reduce poverty, hunger and homelessness throughout the state of Maryland. The event has outgrown a number of venues over the course of its history, and this year it moves into the South Club-level lounge at M&T Bank Stadium.
Anyone interested in the event can find more information, access links to find out more about HCH and purchase tickets at the fair's website www.chocolateaffair.org. The website provides directions to the stadium and information about parking, including the free shuttle service from the stadium's Lot B to the event's door. The Chocolate Affair is a wonderful opportunity to help fight homelessness and poverty with chocolate and other, less calorie-intensive pleasures.
