You might want to fast a little bit before heading to this one! Every year around Valentine's Day, downtown Glendale presents one of its most popular annual festivals for lovers - and lovers of chocolates. Some 40 vendors offer their best sweet treats to more than 95,000 delighted festival-goers. It's all about chocolate, of course, but to keep everyone happy, organizers arrange additional things, including live music, games and activities for the kids, tours of the Cerreta Candy Company factory, workshops with romance novelists, and a raffle for a 400-pound solid chocolate heart. Bring your chocolate-loving significant other for a sweet time.
