CHILLICOTHE – The Chillicothe Ross Chamber of Commerce is ready to ring in the New Year with its first event of 2026, and it’s going to be “choc-full” of fun!
With the continued support of our Downtown Chillicothe business partners and neighbors, we are excited to announce the return of one of our sweetest traditions: the 2026 Chocolate Walk. Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when downtown Chillicothe will come alive with sights, sounds, and the irresistible taste of chocolate.
Participants will embark on a delicious downtown stroll by purchasing a $20 chocolate passport. Each passport unlocks bite-sized chocolate treats from participating businesses. Complete your passport for a chance to win a Shop Local prize basket—an extra boost for supporting our amazing local businesses.
“The Chocolate Walk demonstrates the power of our community when we work together. It’s not just about candy—it’s about connections, commerce, and why Chillicothe is the best place for people to grow and thrive. We invite everyone to come out, support our downtown businesses, and enjoy a delicious day with friends and neighbors,” said Chamber CEO Mike Throne.
