BURLINGTON â 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 communityâs slogan of âChocolate City U.S.A.â A study is underway on whether Burlington should rebrand itself as something unrelated to chocolate.
The COVID-19 pandemic also had a big impact on the festival. After last yearâs ChocolateFest was canceled because of COVID, organizers took a long look at whether to present any sort of festival in 2021.
