Hawai’i is the only state in the U.S. currently growing cacao, and the mission of the Hawai`i Chocolate Festival is to stimulate global interest in Hawai’i’s chocolate industry. The festival partners with farmers, local business, educators and government to showcase and highlight chocolate products made exclusively from Hawaiian-grown cacao beans as well as other chocolates of Hawai`i.
