The Hamrun Chocolate Festival

A chocolate festival will be held along the streets of Ħamrun on the 22th October 2022. 

It is said, although no documentation has been found that could confirm this, that during the rule of Grand Master Perelos, cocoa beans were stored in Ħamrun, specifically in the area known as ‘tas-Samra’.

This event will bring together traditions from the past and will blend them with innovative uses of chocolate as an ingredient for food and art. During live demonstrations, top chefs, bakers and chocolate makers will let visitors discover chocolate creations and recipes that they can try out themselves.
