About this Event

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE is back for 2025! For only a $20 ticket, you will enjoy all-you-can-eat delectable chocolate desserts from area restaurants and businesses, a silent auction, chocolate fountain displays, champagne and more. Calories don't count on this evening! GNO or date night, it's an event sure to please.

Always the 1st Friday in December (which means Dec 5 this year), we kickoff the City of Largo's holiday season with Tree Lighting and Holiday Stroll, a family-friendly annual tradition and one of the most spectacular displays in Pinellas County. Walk off those calories with a stroll through over two million LED lights throughout the park afterwards!

-- EVENT INFO --

Lines form around 6:30. We open the doors at 7PM. Some people like to be "the first in" and make it exciting, but honestly, ***if you just wait until 7:20 to enter, there should be no lines.

***First come, first serve for PARKING. Arrive early to get a good space and take a stroll around the park.

We have 2 ROOMS of Chocolatiers, so take your time and enjoy.

Our Silent Auction $$ supports children's services and programs, so we hope that you will spend some extra $$ on this and our 50/50.

We WILL NOT LET ANYONE IN WITHOUT A TICKET AND/OR ONLINE RECEIPT and yes, for those receipts, we will be checking each individually.

Don't have tickets yet? You can purchase for $20 online until tonight midnight, day-of for $25 from CPPAC but there is an extra fee. Anyone 5 years or older requires a ticket.Our Wine Toss Game is back again and liquor too, as well as a 50/50 to PLAY & WIN! NO STROLLERS PLEASE.

This is not an event for little ones, honestly. And with the amount of people in the 2 rooms, strollers really cram people in, especially with lines at each of the Chocolatiers.

NO TAKE HOME. Chocolatiers will not honor anyone trying to take home chocolate. Don't bring your own containers, don't ask chocolatiers.WE MONITOR ALCOHOL. Although we give away samples of beer and champagne, do not drink to excess. You may be cut off.

TAKE YOUR TIME. And please stroll around Largo Central Park afterwards with the 2 million lights and beautiful displays!

NO REFUNDS ON PURCHASED TICKETS. IF YOU CANNOT COME, PLEASE GIVE YOUR TICKET TO SOMEONE WHO CAN. ALL PROCEEDS GOTO CHARITIES, NOT OURSELVES.
