Participants pay $30 to enter a dedicated area then go from one vendor to another to sample coffees and baked items. They can purchase full-sized coffees or drinks, bags of coffees or full-sized baked goods.
The crawl covers the nine core downtown blocks, with kiosks being at historic sites, with some being indoors and other outside under a canopy.
Participants can also experience Holiday in the City activities.
The crawl is modeled after coffee festivals in Columbus and Cincinnati.

Warder Literacy Center moving
The Warder Literacy Center, home of the Clark County Literacy Coalition, is moving locations to the Metropolis at 102 W. High St. in downtown Springfield. It has held free rummage sales to clear out the building for the move. Another sale will be held Friday from 5-8 p.m.
The current historical building at 137 E. High St. belongs to the city and it is unclear what will happen to it.
