No chocolate, No problem: Burlington ready to introduce new holiday festival Friday


BURLINGTON — The chocolate might be gone, but festival organizers in Burlington are putting together a new event they hope will be just as sweet.
The Burlington Jamboree, an event to succeed the old ChocolateFest, kicks off Friday with plans for a weekend filled with music, food and fun on the former ChocolateFest festival grounds.
Organizers revamped the Memorial Day weekend event after Burlington city leaders decided to reconsider the community’s slogan of “Chocolate City U.S.A.” A study is underway on whether Burlington should rebrand itself as something unrelated to chocolate.
