Better Housing Coalition's Gingerbread House Competition

  • Hardywood Park Craft Brewery 2410 Ownby Lane Richmond, VA, 23220 United States (map)

If you’re a fan of festive craft beer, delightful desserts turned into architectural masterpieces and a jolly good time for all ages, ‘yule’ love this event!

The seventh annual Gingerbread House Challenge dares local businesses, nonprofits, student groups, artists, neighbors and mall Santas to form teams and literally display their holiday spirit and creativity by constructing a gingerbread house centered around the 2023 theme, “Great Works of Art”.

Entry is FREE; only a small donation is required to cast your vote in the People's Choice award. A limited number of VIP event tickets are available now if you want some swag with your votes. VIP tickets are only sold in advance and sell out each year, so get yours today! 100% of proceeds will support BHC’s mission of changing lives and transforming communities through high-quality affordable housing.

Go ahead, kick start your holiday season, and join us for this family-friendly event! In addition to the spectacular feats of dessert engineering, kids can look forward to activities with our friends from The Bunny Hive and adults, as always, can look forward to a can of the famed Gingerbread Stout.

A big "thank you," to our Presenting sponsor Atlantic Union Bank for making this event possible.

Now don’t be a Scrooge, join the fun and support a great cause!
