17-04-25

Bariloche dressed up for Easter 2025 to celebrate a new edition of the National Chocolate Festival, consolidating itself as an emblematic event that combines tradition, flavour and community. From 28 March to 1 April, the Patagonian city offered a wide range of activities that attracted thousands of visitors, strengthening its position as a leading tourist destination in Argentina.

The central event was the making of the world's longest chocolate bar, a tradition that symbolises the collaborative spirit of Bariloche. More than 100 master chocolatiers worked together to create a 218-metre long bar, using more than two tonnes of artisan chocolate. This feat not only delighted attendees, but also highlighted the excellence of the local chocolate industry.

Mitre Avenue, the commercial heart of the city, was transformed into the Chocolate Walk, a themed route where visitors could enjoy tastings, workshops and interactive activities. The youngest children took part in the Chocolate University, an educational and playful experience that culminated with the awarding of symbolic diplomas. In addition, the Rabbit House became a meeting point for families, offering spaces for photographs and games.

The Civic Centre was the stage for musical and theatrical performances that enriched the cultural proposal of the festival. Local and national artists performed in free concerts, providing entertainment for all ages and strengthening the link between the community and visitors.

The National Chocolate Festival also boosted the local economy, generating a significant increase in hotel occupancy and sales in shops and restaurants. Tourists from different regions of the country and abroad contributed to the economic dynamism of Bariloche during the Easter holiday.

This celebration not only highlights the quality of Bariloche's chocolate, but also promotes values of community, tradition and hospitality. The combination of cultural, gastronomic and recreational activities makes the National Chocolate Festival an unmissable event that reinforces Bariloche's identity as the chocolate capital of Argentina.

With each edition, the National Chocolate Festival reaffirms its commitment to excellence and innovation, offering unique experiences that delight residents and tourists alike. Bariloche continues to consolidate itself as a tourist destination of reference, where tradition and modernity intertwine in a celebration that sweetens the hearts of all those who experience it.
