Gingerbread Structures

Gingerbread Structures registration is now closed. If you want to join our mailing list to receive the latest updates for Memorial’s Festival of Trees, please complete our contact us form.

The Gingerbread Village features a grand display of handmade and entirely edible gingerbread structures. All of the gingerbread entries can be bid on through silent auction during the Festival. 

Children and adults are invited to create their own entry for the Gingerbread Village. Designers will receive four Festival of Trees general admission tickets for each structure. Designers will be listed in the Festival of Trees program and the special insert in The State Journal-Register. Each structure will be provided identification signage.

Read the Gingerbread Village Guidelines for more information.
