Each year, attendees are transported into a new, immersive themed world brought to life through breathtaking décor, extraordinary performances by world-class entertainers, decadent confections, handcrafted libations, and interactive experiences. Throughout the evening, attendees enjoy unlimited tastings from some of Northern Nevada’s best chocolatiers, confectioners, mixologists, wineries, breweries, and culinary artisans while exploring elaborate environments filled with surprises around every corner. The event also features a Silent Auction with one-of-kind collectibles and high-end items as well as chances for guests to win curated luxury items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
A portion of the proceeds benefits local, deserving non-profits.

The History
with
The Reno Gazette Journal Foundation organized Fantasies Chocolate for three decades. The Foundation officially dissolved in 2019, and the last Fantasies in Chocolate was held in 2018.
Liquid Blue Events, the largest and most experienced event company in the region, took ownership of Fantasies in Chocolate in 2023, bringing the event back to our community with the Willy Wonka theme, Factory Desserted. The owners of Liquid Blue Events are also the creative minds behind some of the most successful Fantasies in Chocolate events when it was a Reno Gazette Journal Foundation benefit. They produced the Vampire’s Ball in 2009, Fire & Ice in 2010, and Hollywood in 2011.
