Chocolate lovers, this new event coming to Fairhaven is perfect for your sweet tooth. The Fairhaven Association will be hosting its second annual chocolate walk on Saturday, Feb. 11, inviting visitors to walk around historic Fairhaven while sampling chocolate.
Eighteen local businesses in Fairhaven will distribute chocolates for participants, with various flavors and types at each spot, according to Heather Carter, executive director of the Fairhaven Association.

Registration is open online now, but the association warns you to get your tickets soon, as they are likely to run out of tickets.

Tickets cost $30 per person, or for those wanting to experience the walk with a loved one, couples packages are available for $70 that include two tickets, two glasses of sparkling wine or port, one raffle ticket for a gift basket and a $10 small business gift card.
