Bellingham’s Holiday Port Festival Features Gingerbread House Contest

Bellingham, Washington


Bellingham Gingerbread Contest

When pretzel sticks become window frames, icing brings miniature stucco walls to life and gingerbread panels hold the whole thing up – It’s time once again to make gingerbread houses (and other edible creations) for the Holiday Port Gingerbread House Contest in Bellingham. This free contest showcases edible structures of all kinds – not just houses – and first place in each of the nine categories will receive a prize.

Families and community groups have made a tradition out of entering the event’s gingerbread house contest every year. It allows bakers of all ages and abilities to let their creativity shine – and maybe even win a prize. Over the years, everything from the Washington State Capital building to Whatcom Middle School have been recreated in gingerbread and other edible materials. Many of the entries are donated to a silent auction, with proceeds benefiting the Mount Baker Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Entry forms and rules can be downloaded from www.portofbellingham.com/gingerbreadcontest or by calling the Port at (360) 676-2500.

All gingerbread contest entries will be on display during Bellingham’s 21st Annual Holiday Port Festival Dec. 2-4. This family-friendly event will feature performances from local bands, choirs and dance troupes, along with fire truck rides, horse-drawn wagon rides, art activities for children, Santa Claus, and the gingerbread house display, all at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal. With so many free activities for kids, many families choose to spend the weekend at the Holiday Port Festival.

Gingerbread House Contest Dates and Deadlines:

•Deadline to Turn in Entry Form: Tuesday, Nov. 29
•Date to Deliver Your Edible Structure: Wednesday, Nov. 30
•All Entries are on Display at Holiday Port Friday-Sunday Dec. 2-4
