Driving Directions 

Paradise Chocolate Fest is held at beautiful Terry Ashe Park, 6626 Skyway, Paradise 95969; nestled in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Located on a ridge with elevations ranging from 2,000 to 2,800 feet above sea level, Paradise is twelve miles east of Chico and ninety miles north of Sacramento - easily accessible on Highway 70 and Highway 90, which connects Butte County with Interstate 5, which travels the length of California.  Paradise is approximately a 3 hour drive  from both the San Francisco Bay Area and Reno.  It's also a morning's drive from Redding and foothill towns throughout the Sierra Nevada and Central Valley.  We suggest that you use MapQuest for exact driving directions from your home.

FREE PARKING is available at the Fest, near the intersection of Skyway and Elliott Road.  Additional free parking within easy walking distance in the neighborhoods surrounding Terry Ashe Park.
