February and Fun

Y
ou don’t need an invitation to downtown Coeur d’Alene’s monthly party on the second Friday of the month; just show up! From April through December, it’s ArtWalk when restaurants, galleries and other establishments host artists. Otherwise, including in February, downtown businesses host live music during MUSIC WALK (Feb. 9, 5-8 pm) put on by the city’s Arts & Culture Alliance. Both are free, family-friendly and loads of fun. February is special, though, with even more events. Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association’s annual CHOCOLATE AFFAIR is also Feb. 9, from 5-8 pm. For $15, sample ahh-h-mazing sweets and vote for your top one (good luck picking just one)
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
produced by our region’s chocolatiers and bakers. Last year, for example, the raves were for the maple bacon chocolate granache by Pastry & More. (They’re back this year, too.) Most vendors are keeping their sweets secret for now, yet all you need to know, including purchasing tickets, is online at cdadowntown.com or call 208-415-0116. As if the best chocolates you’ve ever tasted for $15 wasn’t enough — consider that a good quality chocolate bar costs at least $4 — how about a wine-tasting during Music Walk? Absolutely! Enjoy seven pours (total) and the chocolate tasting for $25 at seven host locations: ABI’S ICE CREAM, EARTHLY BEAUTY BAR, MARMALADE FRESH CLOTHING and both CASTAWAY CELLARS and SANTOSHA IMPORTS inside the RESORT PLAZA SHOPS, as well as ALL THINGS IRISH
