Your weekend plans just got sweeter! The DMV Chocolate & Coffee Festival Maryland Edition opens November 7 & 8 at the Adventist HealthCare Fieldhouse in Germantown, bringing chocolate makers, coffee roasters, specialty foods, and small businesses together for two days of discovery.
Sip, Sample, and Shop
Meet the makers, try something you’ve never tasted, and shop for handcrafted chocolates, freshly roasted coffee, gourmet foods, and unique gifts from across the region and beyond.
Whether you’re getting a head start on holiday shopping, stocking your coffee shelf, or choosing a treat for yourself, the festival offers a chance to discover products you won’t find on your usual grocery run. Every purchase is also an opportunity to support the small businesses behind the flavors.
See George Washington…Made of Chocolate
Chocolate takes an unexpected form at George Washington’s Chocolate Table, featuring a large-scale sculpture of Washington on horseback by award-winning chocolate artist Paul Joachim.
See the sculpture up close, sample colonial-style drinking chocolate, and explore chocolate’s place in early American history. You can also shop the Collector’s Heritage Box to bring the drinking chocolate experience home.
Take a Seat at Sip & Share
Between shopping stops, visit the Sip & Share Seminar Classroom for sessions and demonstrations included with festival admission.
Discover ancestral cacao from the Ecuadorian Amazon, hear what it takes to start a coffee business, explore craft chocolate, or put your knowledge to the test with Festival Trivia. It’s a chance to hear the stories behind the products and ask questions directly to makers and experts.
Bring the Family
Kids under 12 get in free with a ticketed adult! Families can enjoy complimentary kids’ craft tables and meet festival mascots Chunk the chocolate bar and Bean the coffee cup for photos throughout the weekend. Shop from Chunk & Bean plushies and pick up a copy of their children’s book too.

When I moved back to the D.C. area after several years in New York, I found myself rebuilding a social circle. Friends had moved away or settled into different routines, and finding a few guys to hang out with took more effort than I remembered.
That experience led me to start Choros. We first launched in DC about a year ago, bringing small groups of guys together around shared interests. The enthusiasm convinced me there were plenty of other men looking for the same thing: good company, reliable plans, and people they could keep getting to know.
