Chocolate Celebration: Kokomo’s Sweetest Event of the Year
April 27, 2026

Chocolate everything for a good cause.


If chocolate is your love language, clear your calendar. Kokomo’s Chocolate Celebration is back and bringing plenty of reasons to indulge.

Calling all chocolate lovers. Kokomo’s sweetest event of the year returns with Chocolate Celebration on Friday, May 1, 2026.


Held annually on the first Friday of May, this community favorite takes place at One Church Kokomo, located at 2734 S. Washington St. It’s a full-on celebration of all things chocolate, with a wide variety of decadent treats and beverages to enjoy.


Whether you plan to sample your way through the event or grab a few favorites to go, there’s no shortage of options. From rich desserts to chocolate-inspired drinks, it’s a chance to indulge a little, or a lot.


Chocolate Celebration also supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds benefit Samaritan Caregivers, a Kokomo nonprofit that assists individuals 65 and older who are still living at home.


Admission to the event is free. Tickets are sold in bundles of five for $20, with each ticket redeemable for one chocolate treat of your choice. Tickets are available during the event and can be purchased with cash or credit card.


A quick tip for the best experience: Doors open at 11 a.m. and you'll want to arrive early for the best selection.
