A Cup of Cocoa in Elk Rapids

Jan. 13, 2024

NOTE TO READERS: This event has been postponed. Please check the websites below for rescheduling information. In the meantime, it's still a great weekend to visit Elk Rapids; according to the Downtown Elk Rapids Association Facebook page, Saturday, Jan. 20, from 11am-5pm will be the "Winter Wonderland Clearance Sale! 13 participating stores will have lots of great items on sale to clear the place out for new spring looks! Visit three stores and get entered into a gift basket giveaway!"

Now, when we say a cup of cocoa, we really mean two or three…or maybe even four. Because how else will you sample all the libations at the Elk Rapids Cocoa Crawl? Held in downtown Elk Rapids on Saturday, Jan. 20, this family-friendly afternoon treats cocoa connoisseurs to chocolatey concoctions from local businesses and restaurants. As you’re strolling down River Street with a spring in your step from that sugar high, be sure to vote for your favorite! For those keeping score, The DAM Shop, Cellar 152, and Nifty Things took first, second, and third places respectively in 2023. Can they rise to the top—like marshmallows!—again this year, or will another contender take the top spot? Stay tuned for more information at elkrapidschamber.org or facebook.com/downtownelkrapids.
