Discover and support local chocolate vendors as you taste and shop for treats set up throughout the Visitor Center.

The Morton Arboretum champions all trees, and the annual Chocolate Weekend event celebrates a particularly beloved tree, the cacao tree, which offers us the many delights of chocolate.

Chocolate Weekend takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 3 and 4, with an exclusive members-only preview event from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2. Chocolate Weekend is free with Arboretum general admission. The members-only preview event is $20 and includes a specialty hot chocolate with Baileys, hot white chocolate with Nocino, a glass of wine, or a beer. Members can purchase preview tickets for non-member guests. For Member Preview tickets, visit https://bit.ly/47ndrQ7.
