Heights Village to host first annual Cahaba Crawl this evening

Tonight participating businesses in Heights Village will be open until 7 p.m. or later as part of the first annual Cahaba Crawl. During the evening event, which begins at 4 p.m., retailers will showcase fall merchandise and offer special gifts and deals to customers.

“This is somewhat unique in that all merchants want to introduce their existing customers to the other businesses in the center,” said Jennifer Cummings of Cummings Jewelry.

Participating retailers include The Lili Pad, A Little Something Gift Boutique, Chickadee, Gigi’s, Serendipity Boutique, Second Hand Rose, Chloe’s, Drake Carroll Interiors and Cummings Jewelry Design. Each store will have a variety of special offerings such as appetizers, wine, free gifts, drawings and exclusive sales.

“This is such an accessible area with easy parking and great restaurants and a real variety of family-owned businesses with emphasis on customer service,” Cummings said. “We've gotten great response so far so it's shaping up to be a fun evening.”
