The first major tourism event of the 2021 calendar for downtown Ste. Genevieve will take place on Feb. 6.
The annual traditional “Chocolate Walk” will begin at 10 a.m. on Feb. 6, with Common Grounds Coffeehouse serving as the starting point. The event will run through mid-afternoon.
Tickets have been on sale for the event since Dec. 1.
Janece Warden, the owner of downtown restaurant Stella and Me Café, had the idea for the Chocolate Walk – which began in February 2009.
“It’s an outdoor event primarily, and some people still feel comfortable in that environment,” said city of Ste. Genevieve tourism director Toby Carrig. “It’s a break from the winter doldrums.”

Discussions surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic continue at Ste. Genevieve Board of Aldermen meetings.
During his city administrator’s report, Happy Welch noted how city staff have been handling these issues.
Welch said, “we are recovering from our COVID-19 quarantines, and are just about to full strength,” as noted in the report dated Dec. 10, submitted before the regular board of aldermen meeting that night.
The administrator said visitors are still required to wear masks – and when in group settings for more than 15 minutes.
Welch said Zoom teleconferencing availability with boards and commissions will be a focal point even as the calendar flips from 2020 to 2021 – and with vaccines soon coming to Ste. Genevieve County.
