Chocolate lovers, mark your calendars! The Collins Center is hosting its annual Chocolate Walk on Friday, April 25th, 2025, from 4:00–7:00 PM, offering a delicious way to support a powerful mission.
This self-guided, family-friendly event invites participants to take a leisurely stroll through beautiful downtown Harrisonburg while collecting handmade chocolate treats from a variety of local businesses and organizations. Each stop on the walk features a unique chocolate delicacy crafted and donated by local chocolatiers and bakers.
Your participation directly supports the Collins Center’s mission to promote healing for all those affected by sexual harm in our community.
Tickets: Each $30 ticket includes one collection box to gather chocolates. One chocolate treat per stop, per box. There is no limit to how many people can participate, but treats are limited to ticket holders. Tickets can be purchased in until the 24th here.
Check-In: Head to the Ice House Roundabout in front of Pale Fire Brewing (217 South Liberty St.) between 4:00–6:30 PM to check in and begin your chocolate adventure!
Parking: Free public parking is available throughout downtown. Be sure to check posted time limits, and note that permit-only spaces open up to the public after 5:00 PM. Recommended parking includes the Water Street Parking Deck and Turner Pavilion municipal lot.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter of the Collins Center or just in it for the sweets, this event is the perfect blend of indulgence and impact.
