About this event
Tonight the doors open at 5:30pm. No tickets required but donations to support the event are encouraged at the door. Check out this year’s gingerbread creations under the twinkling evening light of the beautifully decorated Opera House. It’s simply magical. Live music, room for dancing, drinks available at the bar. Tonight is the kick-off event for the weekend – check it out and then tell your friends not to miss the Gingerbread Spectacular! Also, tonight is the opening of the Friends’ Holiday Bake Sale – come tonight for best selection! Over the weekend, dozens of gingerbread houses and castles designed and decorated by local, and not so local, talents will fill the main performance hall. A team of judges will award prizes for Most Spectacular as well as other categories, including Best Holiday Spirit, Most Delicious Looking, Best Representation of a Local Landmark, Most Hilarious and more! Doors open on Friday evening at 5:30 PM for the sparkling kick-off party and then the exhibit is open all day on Saturday 10 AM – 4 PM and Sunday 11 AM – 3 PM. The weekend is sponsored by The First National Bank and Spring Tide Property Services.
