Come enjoy a taste of some creative hot-cocoa recipes from local food-makers The Pink Waffle, The Whole Almond, Milk Bottle, and Kittylamb. Then, cast your vote for category winners!

Sippers are encouraged to bring their own sipping vessels — but we’ll also have a mug market featuring locally handmade mugs! The fire pits will also be out to snuggle up around, of course.

This event is free and open to all, with a suggested donation of $5 or more per sipper. Your donations help Friends of Congress Square Park keep this little urban space active and vibrant year-round. Click here to donate in advance: http://congresssquarepark.org/donation
