    I read all the bad reviews and thought "it can't be that bad, it's a Fest in Wisconsin". I was…read morewrong, friends - so wrong. I've never in my life left a Wisco fest after 40 minutes and been actively pissed off, but congrats to you Chocolate Fest for coming in well below my low expectations. Have you been to State Fair? Imagine that, but with all the good parts left out. Basically, it's the super sketchy Midway area, with the kind of people who hang out there. You have to pay to get in which is a joke considering there is literally nothing to see or do whatsoever. Parking is in a muddy field and is $5. If you're smart (we weren't) you'll take one of the local businesses up on their $5 parking which includes 2 beers. Once inside, you'll enjoy exactly no local food providers except LD's BBQ which is the one and only redeeming thing here. Where are the brats? The roasted corn? If you want funnel cakes or deep fried cookie dough, yeah they've got that. ONE beer stand. Located on the opposite end of the site from the portajohns (there appeared to be ~20 in total). What? There's an "expo tent" which consists of 12 moms pushing their MLM Lularoe crap. So, anyway - it's called Chocolate Fest. So about that - there's the "chocolate experience" tent which involves maybe 10 places selling stuff. Ohhhhhkkaay. Or you can buy the same Nestle garbage that's available at any Walgreens for twice the price. How does this shitfest stay in business year after year? And for 3 days, no less? Everyone involved with this travesty in any way should be ashamed of themselves for desecrating the concept of a WI festival.

    This was a nice festival, however, it is misleading to name it Chocolate Fest...it should really be…read morethe Burlington Festival sponsored by Nestle. The Chocolate tent was small and though there were some good samples, I felt we didn't a good bargain paying the extra money for the samples. The petting zoo was fun and there were plenty of other food options and things to see and do. I just wish the name was different so you wouldn't have a different Idea in your mind when coming. You imagine Chocolate fountains everywhere and booths creatively using chocolate for different dishes and products and it just falls flat in that regard. However, it was relatively cheap to get in, parking options are ample and many closer to the venue give you free drinks as incentive to park there. We actually found free street parking a block or two away so that was even better. All in all we had a good time and would definitely return next year!
