@CocoTerraCo BIG* not Bif.

@CocoTerraCo Nate – I was a consultant to the organizers of The Bif Chocolate Show. Last I heard (2019?) the whole effort was wound down. I can’t find a listing for a 2023 festival. Care to share?

@CocoTerraCo The only Chocolate Festival I can find in Melbournes it the Hot Chocolate Festival (runs all of August). Is this what you were referring to? It does not appear that the “Melbourne Chocolate Festival” has a website of its own. timeout.com/melbourne/thin…

@CocoTerraCo The 2023 Grenada Chocolate Festival has already taken place. The next installment is planned for May 2024.

@CocoTerraCo Eurochocolate is being held at the Umbriafiere. It is not being held in Perugia.
