Oakdale Chocolate Festival

An annual May festival in downtown Oakdale centered on chocolate vendors and tastings, alongside crafts and live entertainment, with an associated 5K run. The 5K run gives it an active component beyond just eating and shopping, appealing to a slightly different crowd than a pure food festival. Its downtown Oakdale setting means it's easy to combine with a stop at the Cowboy Museum or the Cheese & Specialties shop on the same trip.
