The story

ChocolART Tuebingen in Tuebingen

ChocolART, the Internationales Tubinger Schokoladenfestival, began in 2008 and has grown into Germany's largest chocolate festival, held for five or six days each early December in Tubingen's historic town centre. More than 100 chocolatiers from Africa, the Americas and Europe take part, with programming extending beyond tastings into praline-making courses, chocolate artwork and a chocolate-themed theatre and reading programme.

ChocolART, officially the Internationales Tubinger Schokoladenfestival, began in 2008 as a modest gathering of chocolate enthusiasts in Tubingen's town centre and has since grown into the largest chocolate festival in Germany, held each year for five or six days in early December alongside an accompanying market called the chocoMARKT.

The mystery stays covered

Programming that extends into structured praline-making courses, chocolate artwork displays and a chocolate-themed theatre and reading series treats chocolate as a subject for craft and performance rather than only tasting and retail

03

The city starts moving

Its billing as Germany's largest chocolate festival is a specific, verifiable scale claim distinguishing it from smaller regional chocolate markets held elsewhere in the country
