Brisbane Chocolate Festival
Easter might be over, but you can get your chocolate fix at this brand-new two-day festival at The Hills of Rivermakers.
Overview
Over the Easter long weekend, plus in the days and weeks leading into it, one type of sweet treat is always on the menu: chocolate. No matter how you like getting a taste of cocoa, there's always an egg, bun or other dessert for it on offer around March and April. There's always several, in fact. But Brisbane isn't done getting a choc fix yet, even though Easter is done for 2025.
Across Saturday, April 26–Sunday, April 27, the Brisbane Chocolate Festival is making its debut at The Hills of Rivermakers in Morningside. Two days, one riverside precinct, oh-so-much chocolate to feast on from 10am–5pm daily: if you're a chocaholic or just a chocolate fiend, that's your new favourite recipe.
This is a ticketed affair, and then you'll pay for what you eat once you're in — but whether you want chocolate for breakfast, brunch, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea, you have options. Think: chocolate fountains, chocolate brownies, chocolate poffertjes, chocolate soufflé waffles and chocolate cupcakes, as well as chocolate doughnuts, chocolate gelato and ice cream, chocolate slices, chocolate meringue and plenty more. Yes, there'll be chocolate eggs. There'll also be bites for lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, sugar-free and vegan diets.
Also on the bill: hunting for those chocolate eggs, an eating contest, pop-up bars, live tunes and other entertainment — and dessert cocktails.
Brisbane Chocolate Festival is the latest event from the folks behind the Sweet As Brisbane Dessert Festival, which was drawing crowds between 5000–10,000 in its pre-COVID-19 days in West End's Musgrave Park — so expect to have a whole lot of company.
