Did you know that the award-winning BETA5 Chocolates turns fives years old on Saturday, October 1st. To celebrate the milestone they’re getting set to throw a suitably Wonka-esque shindig that will have chocolate lovers in full freakout mode. Here are the top five reasons you’d be crazy to miss it:

Goodie Bags | The best part of any birthday party as a kid was going home with a bag full of goodies that you weren’t forced to share with your siblings. Be one of the first 25 customers and you’ll go home with a loot bag of sweet treats.

Cream Puff Bliss | Beta 5’s delectable cream puffs are the stuff of legend and if you’re one of the lucky 50 there after 12pm look forward to stuffing your face with one of them for free.

Limited Edition Treats | From birthday polygon bars with Willy Wonka-style gold foil (that awards you a prize) to limited edition birthday sundaes, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to eat up all they have to offer.

Win Big | As if the free treats weren’t reason enough, BETA5 is holding an in-store contest that could earn five people a private tour and tasting of the BETA5 headquarters (rules).

Win Big, Insta-Style | If you can’t make it out to the event all you need to do is Instagram a memory from the past five years of chocolate lovin’ and use the hashtag #BETA5turns5 to win a five-course, pop-up dessert party for six in your very own home.

10am to 5pm on October 1 at 413 Industrial Avenue in Vancouver
