CHOCOLATE WALK

Support the Community while Supporting the Arts

Take a sweet stroll around historic Medina’s Public Square area during our annual Chocolate Walk, a deliciously fun event that combines community, chocolate, and the arts!

Participants will enjoy a self-guided tour of participating local businesses, collecting a variety of chocolate-themed treats at each stop. It’s a great way to explore Medina’s vibrant downtown, connect with friendly faces, and discover hidden gems — all while supporting the arts in our community.

Proceeds benefit the Medina County Arts Council, helping fund grants for local teachers and organizations to enhance arts programs, as well as scholarships for graduating Medina County high school students who wish to continue their arts education and pursue their creative passions.

Whether you’re a chocolate lover, a supporter of the arts, or just looking for a fun day out — the Chocolate Walk is the perfect blend of community spirit and sweet indulgence!
