A new event is coming to Cooper-Young this fall with a simple invitation: get out, explore the neighborhood and Let's Crawl, Y'all!

LET'S CRAWL, Y'ALL!

The inaugural Cooper-Young Fall Crawl, presented by Rivy Music Group, will take place Saturday, November 14, 2026, bringing together local businesses, musicians, residents and visitors for a day of live music, food, drinks, shopping and neighborhood exploration.

Rather than being centered in one location, the Fall Crawl will take place throughout the Cooper-Young district, giving attendees the freedom to create their own route and experience the neighborhood at their own pace.

 

LIVE MUSIC & SCAVENGER HUNT

Live music will be featured throughout the day at participating locations. Attendees can pick up a Fall Crawl Card featuring the music schedule, business listings and scavenger hunt challenges.

The scavenger hunt will encourage participants to visit locations throughout the district, find designated clues or features and record their answers. Completed cards can be submitted for an opportunity to win prizes at the end of the night. Winners will be announced on Monday, November 16, 2026 on Instagram, @CYFallCrawl.

 

A DAY FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

The Fall Crawl gives Cooper-Young businesses an opportunity to attract new and returning customers while highlighting their food, drinks, products and services.

Businesses may create their own promotions, including food and beverage specials, retail discounts, merchandise offers, raffles, door prizes or other incentives. A limited number of businesses just outside the traditional Cooper-Young district have also been invited to participate.

 

FREE TO ATTEND

There is no admission fee for the Cooper-Young Fall Crawl. Attendees can spend the day listening to music, enjoying a meal, shopping, meeting friends or taking part in the scavenger hunt.

“We want the Fall Crawl to shine a spotlight on the incredible Cooper-Young community,” says Ginny B. Cash of Rivy Music Group. “The idea is to bring people out for a day of live music while giving them a reason to experience the neighborhood and support the businesses and musicians that make Cooper-Young so special. It’s about enjoying what we have right here and having a great time doing it. We have also invited a few businesses on the outskirts of Cooper-Young to be a part of the day.”

Rivy Music Group hopes the inaugural event will grow into an annual Cooper-Young fall tradition, creating a new seasonal opportunity to bring people into the neighborhood to support its local businesses and the vibrant music scene.
