Chocolate & Spirits Festival at Bell Tower Shops

The 11th annual Chocolate & Spirits Festival, one of the area’s favorite sampling events, will be held this Friday, Dec. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. – rain or shine – at Bell Tower Shops.

Presented by the Lee County Library System, the evening will feature sinfully delicious chocolate creations from area restaurants and businesses, festive holiday spirits, live entertainment by Bob Inkenbrandt and a silent auction providing the opportunity to win fabulous prizes.

Sponsored by Bell Tower Shops, Bistro 41 and Crü, admission is free. Tickets are purchased at the event for $1 each and traded for the chocolate samples, beverages and chances for the silent auction.
