Aurora Downtown's Cocoa Crawl mugs almost sold out

Cocoa Crawl mugs are going quickly. Now is the time to purchase mugs and buttons for the popular event before they are gone. They are currently sold out at some locations.

Aurora Downtown's Cocoa Crawl encourages those with mug in hand and button on coat to visit a variety of participating venues and sample hot chocolate during First Fridays. And much like last year, the sought after mugs are selling fast.

It's a great opportunity for all ages to experience the fun of First Fridays while enjoying a holiday event in the downtown community.

To enjoy the second annual Cocoa Crawl, guests must purchase both a blue Cocoa Crawl mug and button, both designed by Stephanie Wheatley from Aurora Fastprint.

The $5 button will act as a ticket to the event from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6.

A Cocoa Crawl mug is also required and can be purchased for $5 (ceramic, campfire mug) or $10 (travel mug with lid) at eight locations in downtown Aurora.

Buttons are not required for ages 5 and under, who may use their own Cocoa Crawl mug or share with a parent.

Mugs and buttons will be available until they are sold out. Mug and button quantities are limited for this event.

Hot cocoa sampling is unlimited at no additional cost with your button and Cocoa Crawl mug. Please note that quantities vary at participating locations.

Also, on Dec. 6, First Fridays will open multiple venues with art, music, and more. Two trolleys will give free trolley rides throughout the evening. A handful of food trucks will be stationed at the rear of Water Street Square.

The event is sponsored by Aurora Downtown, a nonprofit group of business and property owners dedicated to making downtown Aurora a premier destination for arts, culture, entertainment, dining, living, and working.
