5th Annual Gingerbread Wonderland

December 5 – January 5

Together with families, friends, and neighbors, young and old, Norway House’s annual signature Holiday tradition Gingerbread Wonderland returns to the Gallery at Norway House for it’s fifth year of cozy community creativity. You’ll recognize familiar buildings and landmarks from the Twin Cities and beyond, created by friends and neighbors—everyone from your favorite local bakeries and cake wizards, to families and first-time gingerbread baking enthusiasts. All are encouraged to enter their gingerbread creation, regardless of their baking level! So get your friends together to bake, laugh, frost, and celebrate the warmth of the Holiday season!

$5 admission | Free for members of Norway House and visitors 12 years and younger.

GINGERBREAD (or in Norwegian, pepperkake) is a quintessential feature of the Norwegian holiday season. You will find gingerbread cookies, ornaments, and houses everywhere—in offices, stores, homes, and schools. Some towns and cities in Norway even go so far as to build replicas of their own city out of gingerbread!

Norway House and our warm family, friends, and community members are creating Gingerbread Wonderland Twin Cities in our gallery—a tradition we have come to love, and one that will soon be a part of your family’s annual Holiday to-do list, too! You will find familiar buildings and landmarks created by professional bakers and gingerbread enthusiasts. Additionally, we invite anyone else who is interested to bring a house or other building to be put on display.
