WASHINGTON — Downtown Washington is turning up the warmth this week with the return of the Cozy Crawl, a festive shop-hop inviting the community to bundle up, explore, and enjoy exclusive treats and deals. The event takes place Friday, Dec. 12, from 4—7 p.m., and promises an evening of holiday cheer, no matter how chilly the weather gets.
For just $10, participants receive fuzzy socks, a drink ticket good at Libations on Iowa or JP’s 207, and access to store-only specials, drawings, discounts, and treats at more than a dozen locally owned businesses. Cozy sweaters, scarves, and even pajamas are encouraged as shoppers make their way along the mapped trail of participating shops.
This year’s Cozy Crawl lineup includes:
Brown’s Shoe Fit (official starting point)
Rural Roots Boutique
Jane Anne Boutique
Wolf Floral
Dodici’s Shop
Boxcar Treasures
Central Park Antiques
GunnySac Designs
Emporium
Purposefully You Boutique & Home
Lynn & Shelby’s Home Decor & More
Earthly Blessings
The Village
Market on Main
From special holiday beverages and sweet treats to discounts on Christmas decor, gift items, apparel, and home goods, each stop offers something unique. Many shops are also hosting drawings for gift certificates, prizes, and festive surprises, making the event not just a shopping trip, but a community celebration.
Tickets are limited and can be purchased online at givebutter.com/CozyCrawlMSW
Downtown Washington invites everyone to shake off the cold, slip into something cozy, and enjoy an evening of small-town charm and holiday magic.
