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.”
