The Mayor of Villa Gesell, Gustavo Barrera, stressed that “once again” Villa Gesell renewed its commitment to local festivals. “The attractive event promotes the deseasonalization of the sector and generates sources of work and economic movement, which was very outstanding since only in the property the consumption exceeded 100 million pesos “he pointed.
On the other hand, Barrera added that “popular festivals are always a beautiful reason to meet again. The Chocogesell is special and this one was even more so because, based on the joyful words of those who visited it this year, I can assure you that it is the best edition of all, not only because consumption increased, but also because we had a record number of tourism for this party”.
Organized every long weekend in August since 1996 to promote the tourist activity of Villa Gesell in low season, the Festival had a provincial hierarchy until last year when it was declared “National” by Resolution of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. In this way, the Chocogesell became the second National Festival of Villa Gesell, the previous one was 28 years ago with the National Festival of Diversity.
The Gesellino communal chief maintained that “Chocogesell is the product of joint work that benefits the entire municipality and its inhabitants“. In that sense, Barrera stressed that “the economic impact was more than positive, we have spoken with merchants who assured us that they sold thousands of artisan products and even ran out of stock earlier than expected.”
In this sense, the owner of the “Dulce Rosalía” enterprise highlighted that “it was the best party of all, I sold more than 200 kg of strawberries and exceeded all my expectations. A similar case was that of Soledad, holder of the “Chocopiña” stand, who stated: “We doubled sales compared to last year, this time we made a thousand chocolate pineapples and sold them all.”

Adrián has been participating in the party for 15 years selling “Delicias Colocolo” liqueurs, and stated: “this party once again exceeds our expectations, we ran out of merchandise on the second day.” The “Ginger and honey” stand was also a sales success with almost two thousand artisanal alfajores sold.
In addition, the celebration provided the public with recreational activities, musical and dance performances, and various other recreations such as tastings, product sales, confectionery and chocolate courses. At the same time, a strong tourist movement was registered in the shops of the city and the beaches of Villa Gesell.
