GARDEN CITY, NY — Get your sweet tooth ready, because the Chocolate Expo is coming back to the Cradle of Aviation Museum.

The last Chocolate Expo was held in early March 2020, right before shutdowns began because of the COVID pandemic. It was canceled last year.

This year's event is being held on March 27 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Cradle of Aviation, on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard in Garden City.

In addition to tons of chocolate that you can taste, there will also be offerings of baked goods, cheeses, craft sodas, wines and beers. You can try many of them, and buy even more of them. There will be dozens of vendors at the event.

There will be special entertainment events as well: there will be a dance party for all ages, as well as a "Kidz Zone" full of child-friendly activities. There will also be a chocolate spa that you can participate in.
