Chincoteague Island Celebrates 20th Annual “Death by Chocolate” Event - A Sweet Adventure Returns!
Chincoteague Island, VA — The Historic Main Street Merchants Association is excited to announce the 20th Annual Death by Chocolate event, returning to Chincoteague Island just in time for Valentine’s Day. This beloved tradition invites visitors and locals to explore the island’s charming shops, sample decadent chocolate delights, and compete for exciting prizes.
This year’s FREE event will take place over two days:
• Friday, February 13 from 3 PM – 7 PM
• Saturday, February 14 from 10 AM – 4 PM
Participants will follow a fun-filled scavenger hunt across Main Street and beyond—collecting chocolate treats and earning stamps at each participating business along the route. Completed cards can be entered to win prizes, including local merchandise, gift certificates, and unique island experiences.
Death by Chocolate has become a signature event for our community. It brings people together to celebrate local businesses, support tourism during the off-season, and share in the simple joy of chocolate.
The 20th anniversary celebration promises familiar favorites and some new surprises as merchants mark two decades of this sweet island tradition. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic Valentine’s getaway or a family-friendly adventure, there’s something delicious waiting for everyone.
More details, including participating businesses and prize information, will be available on the Historic Main Street Merchants Association website: www.chincoteaguemerchants.com or our facebook event page.
