The Journey to ChocolateCON Story Walk

ChocolateCON Story Walk is an interactive storytelling experience that brings DC’s rich history of Black entrepreneurship, art, and culture to life. Instead of QR codes, participants will be given a storywalk brochure that outlines each stop along the journey. Special griot and historian moments will take place at certain stops, offering a deeper, immersive engagement with the stories being shared. History lovers will board the bus at The Big Chair and journey through key historical sites, ending the tour at DC City Smokehouse for a kickback featuring crafted bites, drinks, and music.

Date TBA

Light fare is provided.

Each Saturday in February 2025 offers a different theme, spotlighting DC’s African American history, cultural icons, and vibrant neighborhoods.
