Haiti Cacao Festival in Acul-du-Nord/Grand'Anse

Haiti's cacao industry is centered on growing regions in Grand'Anse and the North department including Acul-du-Nord, with a cultivation history dating to Spanish colonial rule, but no specific named annual cacao festival held in these growing communes themselves was identified, despite Haitian cacao gaining recognition through international chocolate showcases abroad.
