Week of Chocolate
Just one event wasn’t enough for the hometown of Indiana University. An entire week of chocolate events is scheduled throughout Bloomington, Indiana, beginning January 29, 2011, and continuing through February 5, 2011.
The signature event, The Art of Chocolate, is 5:30 to 8 p.m. January 30, 2011, in the Indiana University Art Museum, 1133 East Seventh Street, Bloomington, Indiana. Tickets for this gala often sell out, so if you’re planning on attending, Road Trips Foodies, you’d better plan ahead.
More available for those just passing by are the other events planned during Week of Chocolate.
