What to know about The World Chocolate Fair 2024:
The World Chocolate Fair, a partnership between Auro Chocolate and S Maison, is on its fifth run since it debuted in 2019. It's open to the public from July 3 to 7, Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The best part is that there's no entrance fee required for chocoholics to discover chocolates in different forms.
This year's World Chocolate Fair has a Wooden Dragon's Lair where you can discover all kinds of chocolates, limited-edition pastries, confectionaries, and drinks crafted with Auro's award-winning cacao.
A guide to the different chocolate treats to try during The World Chocolate Fair 2024:
