Enjoy this Valentine's Day tradition by taking a stroll through Downtown Portsmouth to visit over 30 locations offering a variety of chocolate treats.

The 2026 Ellen Vetter Memorial Chocolate Walk will be held from 11:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, February 7.  The Walk begins at Columbia Music Theatre, located at 832 Gallia Street Street, where Ticket Holders will receive a Chocolate Walk Map, a Bag for Chocolates, and a Chocolate Walk Passport.

Please note that Ticket Holders are required to Check In at the Columbia Music Theatre by 1:00pm on February 7.  Any unclaimed tickets will be re-sold.

There will be a list of ticket purchases at Check In, so no physical tickets are needed for those who buy tickets online.

Each Venue on the Walk will stamp Passports, and completed Chocolate Walk Passports may be turned in for entry into a Prize Drawing.  Stamps from locations which close early are NOT required to compete the Passport.

Join us at dozens of walking and driving Stops eager to spread the love of Portsmouth, Ohio!
