Belmont Shore welcomes back its cherished Chocolate and Wine Festival—rebranded as the Sweets and Sips Festival—this February, transforming 2nd Street into a lively celebration of local flavor.

On Sunday, February 15, locals and visitors can relish artisan chocolates, curated wine tastings, and seasonal cocktails in a relaxed, family-friendly environment from 1 to 4 PM.

Shops and bakeries across the district offer unique bites and sips, while tasting tickets and wristbands allow everyone to pace their own indulgence.

The famed community dessert contest invites bakers to compete as attendees sample and vote for favorites, ensuring everyone’s voice counts.

Beyond sweets and drinks, the festival features a themed scavenger hunt and live local music, adding a playful, energetic spirit to the city’s Valentine’s tradition.

Admission is free, making it the perfect way to experience Belmont Shore’s vibrant, creative community—no reservations or prix fixe menus required.
