Salon Du Chocolat Toronto

Salon du Chocolat Toronto is Canada’s leading exhibition dedicated to chocolate, cocoa, pâtisserie and confectionery. Bringing together indulgence, craftsmanship, innovation and international industry expertise under one roof, it offers far more than a traditional chocolate show. As part of the globally renowned Salon du Chocolat series, the event serves as an international platform for the entire cocoa and chocolate value chain, from cocoa-growing regions and bean production to the latest creations of leading chocolatiers, pastry chefs and dessert specialists.

The event takes place at the Toronto Congress Centre, one of Canada’s largest and most modern exhibition and convention venues. It is organised by Comexposium, a France-based organiser and one of the world’s leading exhibition groups. Comexposium delivers numerous international trade and consumer events across a wide range of industries and is particularly recognised for its high-quality B2B and consumer exhibitions.

At the heart of Salon du Chocolat Toronto are premium chocolates, high-quality cocoa products, bean-to-bar concepts, artisanal production methods, and the increasingly important topics of cocoa origin and sustainability. More than 120 exhibitors showcase chocolate specialities, pralines, cocoa products, desserts, baked goods, ice cream and confectionery creations, as well as innovative ingredients and technologies for the chocolate and pastry sectors. The exhibition is further complemented by services relating to production, packaging, distribution, foodservice, training and business consultancy.

The event plays an important role within Canada and particularly within the Greater Toronto area. As the country’s largest city and a major international business and cultural hub, Toronto provides an ideal setting for dialogue between North American and global market participants. The exhibition brings together producers from leading cocoa-growing countries with Canadian and international chocolate manufacturers, distributors, buyers and retailers, helping to strengthen global industry connections.

One of the event’s best-known attractions is the spectacular Chocolate Fashion Show, the signature feature of the Salon du Chocolat brand. Designers and chocolatiers collaborate to create extraordinary fashion pieces made wholly or partly from chocolate. The programme also includes tastings, live demonstrations by renowned pastry chefs and chocolatiers, interactive workshops, expert presentations and immersive experiences exploring cocoa and chocolate production. Visitors also gain exclusive insights into the latest trends shaping the international worlds of desserts and chocolate artistry.

Exhibitors primarily represent the chocolate manufacturing, cocoa production, pâtisserie, confectionery, bakery, confectionery manufacturing, hospitality, food processing, packaging technology and retail sectors. Participants range from global brands and specialist artisan producers to bean-to-bar makers, suppliers and innovative start-ups.

The visitor profile is equally diverse. Alongside chocolate enthusiasts and consumers, the exhibition attracts professionals from pâtisserie, confectionery, hospitality, hotel management, retail, import and export, food manufacturing, wholesale distribution, procurement and product development. This successful combination of consumer appeal and professional networking makes the event both a public exhibition and a valuable industry platform.

Salon du Chocolat Toronto forms part of an international exhibition series staged in major cities around the world. In addition to Toronto, editions are held in destinations including Paris, New York, London, Brussels, Dubai and Tokyo. As a result, the event benefits from the strength of a globally recognised brand and an extensive network within the international chocolate and cocoa industry.

With its unique blend of indulgence, expertise, innovation and entertainment, Salon du Chocolat Toronto ranks among the most important events in the North American chocolate and pastry sectors. The Toronto Congress Centre provides an outstanding venue, offering modern infrastructure, expansive exhibition space and a convenient location close to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Excellent road links, public transport connections and international air access ensure that the venue is easily accessible for both domestic and international visitors.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the Salon Du Chocolat takes place on 4 days from Thur., 19.11.2026 to Sun., 22.11.2026 in Toronto.
