Chocolate Festival - McLean Rotary Club - March 15,2026
The Rotary Club of McLean is proud to announce the return of its 14th Annual Chocolate Festival, a delectable celebration and premier community event set to occur on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the McLean Community Center.
Admission to this sweet affair is only $3.00 for individuals; children under age 4 are free. The proceeds generated from this festival contribute directly to the numerous community and global projects championed by the Rotary Club of McLean. Beneficiaries include local organizations such as Homestretch, which supports single mothers and children in crisis, and the Chesterbrook Residences' Continued Care Fund. Additionally, funds support scholarships for graduating seniors, literacy programs at Timber Lane Elementary, and international initiatives like clean water projects and the global eradication of Polio.
“The Chocolate Festival is a perfect embodiment of Rotary’s motto, ‘Service Above Self,’ says McLean Rotary Club President Michael Falcone. “It allows our community to have a fun, family-friendly afternoon while directly supporting the essential work done by organizations that make McLean and the world a better place.”
Attendees can indulge their sweet tooth by sampling and purchasing unique offerings from over a dozen regional chocolate vendors, including local favorite Artisan Confections.
Beyond the chocolate, the festival offers a variety of entertainment:
Family Fun: A dedicated children's room featuring face painting and engaging activities.
Live Performances: Live music and entertainment throughout the afternoon.
Education: Opportunities to learn more about the mission and vision of the Rotary Club of McLean and how community participation drives positive impact.
The Rotary Club of McLean is immensely grateful to Mars, Inc., headquartered in McLean, for their continued support as a major sponsor. We invite families, neighbors, and chocolate lovers from across the region to join us for a delightful afternoon of indulgence and philanthropy. Mark your calendars for March 15th!
