The Great Gingerbread Build-Off Showdown

Lions Centre 157 Elgin Street East, Cobourg, ON, Canada

The icing is on. The gloves are off.

The Great Gingerbread Build-Off Showdown is where creativity, competition, and a little holiday chaos collide.

 

Teams of 4 go head-to-head to build an unforgettable gingerbread creation against the clock while navigating Roadblocks, surprise challenges, and visits from our infamous Building Inspectors.

 

Bring your crew, your creativity, and your competitive spirit. We provide the gingerbread, icing, and building materials. You bring the plan and the nerve to pull it off.

 

But don't get too comfortable. Roadblocks give teams the chance to throw a little festive chaos at the competition, and you never know what our Building Inspectors have up their sleeves.

 

When time is up, the judges take over and one team will earn ultimate gingerbread bragging rights.
