Welcome!
22ND ANNUAL
GINGERBREAD HOUSE COMPETITION
The City of Pittsburgh invites you to participate in the 22nd annual Gingerbread House Competition! This beloved Pittsburgh tradition has dazzled thousands of visitors for the past two decades at both PPG Place and the historic City-County Building, including a return to an in-person display in 2022. For the 22nd year, the people of Pittsburgh, the surrounding Allegheny County communities, and beyond are invited to build their own edible house as the competition display returns this holiday season! All eligible houses will be displayed on Light Up Night through early January. Join the fun this holiday season!
Registration for this year's event will open on October 1, 2024!
