Not Your Mother's Gingerbread Competition
Homes for the Holidays is an annual event held at participating businesses throughout Hillsborough, NC to celebrate the creative arts and bring joy to our community this holiday season.
Although it's a contest, the goal is to spread joy, create a festive atmosphere...and add to your shopping experience as you explore gift options for friends and family.
All aspiring gingerbread artists and architects are invited to participate and have fun showcasing your creative streak and holiday spirit!
Theme: “Winter Wonderland”
What's your vision of a Winter Wonderland? A log cabin draped with holly and lights? The Rockefeller Christmas tree in Manhattan? Santa's Workshop? Stockings hung on a fireplace hearth? Chevy Chase's house in Christmas Vacation bedazzled with a thousand lights? Let your creativity flow and impress us with your holiday cheer!
