I have attended the Glendale chocolate affaire off & on for 16 years now . This year was seriously disappointing. The event was advertised as free admission & free parking . While admission was free , parking was $10! It felt more like a craft fair than one supposedly dedicated to chocolate .there were approximately 5 chocolate booths ?!!! The rest were craft tables & corporations trying to sell their crap! The kids enjoyed the carnival rides which were 3-5 tickets per ride at $1 per ticket.. Ouch.. We won't be back, nor can I in good faith recommend anyone else going . Hopefully in the future glendale will take a closer look at who is renting their booths, and diversify a little better . Oh and offer better parking !!!
