Tips & Advice
- Buy a mug before November 20 or while supplies last; only 600 are available, so waiting may leave you without crawl samples.
- Get a separate ticket for every person who wants cocoa and treat samples; one party member's mug does not cover everyone.
- Check in at the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce before walking downtown to collect your mug, tote bag, and treat map.
- Remember that ticket purchases are non-refundable, so confirm your plans before purchasing a mug for the crawl.
- Dress warmly for the downtown stroll, since viewing storefront windows and following the crawl take place outdoors.
Special Events & Promotions
- Viewing the Living Windows is free; cocoa and treats are available only to purchased-mug holders.
- The Living Windows event is paired with a Cocoa Crawl this season.
