The professional photos are in… and we’re a little bit obsessed. 🤎🍫📸

Our very first Wollongong Chocolate & Dessert Festival was such a brilliant day and these photos capture exactly what we hoped it would be, incredible desserts, delicious food, chocolate treats, local businesses, competitions, plenty of laughs and Crown Street Mall absolutely buzzing.

From the sweet treats and market stalls to the competitions, families, friends and all the little moments in between… this was Wollongong showing up for something brand new. ❤️

A huge thank you again to everyone who joined us for the day, and to Wollongong CBD for partnering with us to bring the very first Wollongong Chocolate & Dessert Festival to life.

There are far too many favourite photos to choose from, so here’s a little look back at the day that started it all.

Wollongong Chocolate & Dessert Festival, you were pretty special. 🍓🍩🍫

WOLLONGONG… YOU SHOWED UP! 🍫🔥🤎

Our very first Chocolate & Dessert Festival Wollongong was HUGE and what a day it was 🙌

So many sweet treats, incredible food, brilliant vendors, plenty of laughs and some seriously competitive contestants taking on our festival challenges 😂🏆

A massive THANK YOU to every single person who came along, our amazing vendors who brought the goods, everyone who jumped into the competitions and, of course, the weather gods for absolutely delivering for us ☀️😂

This is just a little behind-the-scenes sneak peek captured by us on the day… our professional photographer was out there capturing all the action too, and we cannot WAIT to show you those photos 📸👀

Wollongong, what a way to kick off our first one. 🤎
