I am Tracy, the manager of Market on Chocolate. Market On Chocolate is an open-air makers and producers market nestled in the heart of Hershey. Our vendors offer a variety of locally sourced goods and artisan products for visitors. With a focus on community and quality, Market on Chocolate provides a welcoming space for patrons to explore unique offerings and support small businesses in the area.

In addition to our weekly lineup of vendors, we offer free community fitness each week. Local fitness instructors provide classes to the community ranging from yoga to martial arts to high intensity workouts. The fitness component enhances a sense of community gathering and wellness. We provide free space for two non-profit or community organizations each week and also invite musical acts and various activities.

My favorite part about the Market is seeing neighbors patronizing the market with their families and meeting new people from the community. We often get tourists that happen upon our market in their travels. It’s nice to be able to meet people from all geographic regions and tell them about our sweet little town. One of the most rewarding parts of the Market is seeing vendors grow and expand from our market to bigger ventures. I look forward to Spring 2026 when we open again!

The Downtown Hershey Association is a non-profit organization. We are grateful to the many volunteers to help us make our events such a success. The DHA is always looking for volunteers to assist throughout the year! Please visit www.downtownhershey.com or Facebook as MarketOnChocolate.
