Most of the sculptures ended up burning quite nicely. Of particular interest were the flower that blossomed and the dancing man.
As for chocolate... unfortunately, the event location ended up being changed abruptly and the vendors did not participate. So we were stuck with hot chocolate from a can (no pictures needed), and mainstream chocolate bars and popcorn. Only the chocolate bar supply lasted through to the end of the event. On the plus side, grad students bbq'd fresh sweet corn.
Rating:
Festival ~ 10 / 10 - Quite enjoyable, and let's not forget, it's the only fire festival in Canada. It's like a Canadian counterpart to Nevada's Burning Man.
Chocolate ~ It's not even worth grading, but hey, that's no fault of the organizers. It happens. Besides, we went there for the Fire, not chocolate.
Here's a few pics from the night:
