The fifth Downtown Albany Hot Chocolate Stroll, presented by Pioneer takes place Saturday, December 7 from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM. Tickets $20-$30. The Hot Chocolate Stroll is held in conjunction with the Holiday Market at The Kenmore Ballroom.

HOW THE STROLL WORKS:

Those who purchased tickets in advance must check in here to receive their passport map and commemorative mug. Day-of tickets and additional mugs may also be purchased here, while supplies last. Now it's time to start your stroll!
  2. Show your passport when you arrive at each business to receive your hot chocolate serving. You will receive a stamp or check mark for visiting that business.
  3. Collect stamps or check marks from each stop to receive chances to win a $50 Downtown Albany Gift Card.
