National Gingerbread House Competition

11/28/2022 to 01/02/2023

For 30 years running, the historic Grove Park Inn hosts 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 the first to the twelfth, announcing one finalist each day. Public viewing will be available after 6 p.m. on Sundays or anytime Monday through Thursday, based on parking availability and excluding holidays and the following dates: December 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, and January 1. » Omni Grove Park Inn, 290 Macon Avenue; Monday-Thursday; parking $20-$25; (800) 438-5800; www.omnihotels.com
