Your smiling face, some holiday spirit, and creativity! We provide fully assembled gingerbread houses, icing (in a tipped bag for easy decorating), and a “Candy Bar” with a wide assortment of sweet treats. If you have a specific theme in mind for your gingerbread house, outside decorating supplies are permitted. However, we ask that you do not bring: outside food items, hot glue guns, or glitter. If you’re bringing a young child, strollers or wagons are discouraged as space is limited for “stroller parking.” The decorating floor gets crowded! There will be valet parking and helpful volunteers once you arrive if you need an extra hand.
