Enjoy Our Newest, Sweetest Tradition: A Chocolate Festival Held In Central Pennsylvania, Just North Of Altoona

Located On Old Route 220

When you think of chocolate and central Pennsylvania, your first thought is likely Hershey, but there are other chocolatiers in the region. Tyrone, Pennsylvania has Gardner's Candies, for example, and they were the sponsor of this chocolate festival. When you go there, you will find arts and crafts for all ages as well as a fun, brightly lit chocolate train making the rounds, fun for the little ones and for everyone of all ages, both as a nod to our railroad heritage and the fact many people love trains

The Chocolate Festival Has Many Sights To See

You'll get to try all kinds of delicious treats and as it's in November, a little food can go a long way in warming you up. The inaugural chocolate festival was on November 7, 2026. Hopefully this can become a regular thing for years to come. There were quite a few vendors, including some selling warm blankets, which would be perfect on such a cold November day as the 2026 edition was!

If you're ever in Tyrone, stop at Gardner's Candies, a local staple that you can visit anytime!
