The festival is being held on the second floor of the Fashion Industry Gallery in Dallas, otherwise known as FIG. Of course, you can sample several different types of chocolate while you're there. The festival started in 2009. Founder Sander Wolf says he started it as a way to share delicious local chocolate with North Texas and highlight the work that goes into making the sweet treats.
