Main Street Fort Smith is pleased to announce that the official 2025 Downtown Cocoa Crawl Map is now live. With more than 30 participating locations offering free hot cocoa and holiday cheer, this year's Cocoa Crawl is set to be the biggest yet.

The digital map is available beginning today on the Main Street Fort Smith website, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. A copy of the map is attached to this press release for easy access. Cocoa Crawl participants will use this map to navigate the event on Saturday, November 29 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, exploring downtown shops, restaurants, historic sites, and attractions offering complimentary cocoa and festive hospitality.

“We’re thrilled to see the community so excited about the Cocoa Crawl,” said Amanda Hager, Executive Director of Main Street Fort Smith. “This event brings people downtown, supports small businesses during the holiday season, and creates an experience that families look forward to year after year.”

Evening Tree Lighting Ceremony and Entertainment

Following the Cocoa Crawl, the community is invited to Cisterna Park from 5:00 to 6:00 PM for the annual Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This year’s celebration will include performances by:
