National Gingerbread House Competition  

11/27/2023 to 01/02/2024

For over 30 years, the historic Omni Grove Park Inn has hosted the National Gingerbread House Competition, a beloved—and ambitious—holiday tradition. Other than the base, all structures must be entirely edible, which is no easy feat considering some of the more outlandish builds that are submitted each year. The hotel will be hosting the 12 Days of Gingerbread from December 1-12, announcing one finalist via social media each day. Public viewing will be available anytime after 4 p.m. on Sundays or anytime Mondays through Thursdays based on parking availability, excluding December 24 & 25, 29-31, and January 1.» Omni Grove Park Inn, 290 Macon Ave.; Sundays-Thursdays; $25-$35 parking; (800) 438-5800; www.omnihotels.com
