Saturday’s Coffee Crawl to showcase downtown Waxahachie’s offerings
The Waxahachie Downtown Merchants Association is hosting a Coffee Crawl to kick off its slate of activities for 2025. The free event, slated for 10 a.m.-3 p.m. this Saturday, Jan. 18, invites the community to enjoy not only the different coffee stops scattered through the city’s historic downtown but also everything else the area offers, from shopping antiques to home décor to the different restaurants and much more.
“Join us for the Waxahachie Coffee Crawl and indulge in 12 coffee stops, three dessert spots, and endless local charm, all for free,” the association wrote in its Facebook community invite. “Grab your friends, sip some delicious brews, and discover downtown’s best-kept secrets.”
