December 7-15, 2024

Visit Downtown Cary as it is transformed into a walking gallery of amateur gingerbread houses. Local participants work hard to design, create, and display a gingerbread house that is yummy enough for an elf's visit! All entries will be on display in select downtown businesses on December 7-15. Winning entries will be on display at the Cary Art Center December 17-30.
