The Chocolate Hop returns to Olde Pickerington Village on May 2! From 6:00 to 8:30 PM, enjoy sweet treats and live music while supporting local businesses.

“The Chocolate Hop is the first major event of the year for the Pickerington Village Association,” said association president Janis Francis. “It is always a huge success! Who doesn’t love chocolate—and free chocolate? As usual, the Farmers’ Market will be there with chocolate milk, there will be street vendors, and shops will be open with chocolate treats.”

Ticket Information

Tickets go on sale starting April 1 for a donation of$5.00 each and can be purchased in person at:

  • The Humble Crate (18 E. Columbus St.) – Available Wednesday through Saturday, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
  • Ruby Joy Boutique (88 W. Church St.) – Available Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

For online purchases, tickets are available at Pickerington Online for a donation of $5.00 (plus a $1.00 processing fee).

The night of the event, take your tickets to the PVA table located near the Pickerington-Violet Township History Museum to exchange for a map that will enable you to explore Olde Pickerington Village and collect treats.

Only 300 tickets are available, and no tickets will be sold at the event. Last year, the tickets sold out.
