FAQ
GroveCrawl is a new, neighborhood-wide experience organized and activated by business owners in the Grove! Designed to encourage guests to explore the whole district, the Crawl is open to all businesses and spans from one Grove sign to the other. Crawlers will discover new favorite shops and bars, stumble upon street performances, and enjoy discounted beverages from our sponsors. Eat diverse flavors, party with your friends, tip a drag queen, buy local, and dance in the daylight. Get your Grove on.
HOW DO I GET TICKETS?
Presale tickets are available here for $8. Tickets can also be purchased on the day of the event for $10. Either way, Crawlers should check in at one of two designated booths to get their GroveCrawl credentials: East at Talmage & Manchester or West (Newstead & Manchester). These locations are noted on the GroveCrawl map .
