    Free and open to the public

Please join us in Waterfront Square (BSA lobby) for a reception to celebrate the 13th Annual BSA Gingerbread Design Competition & Exhibition! View all gingerbread creations and vote for your favorites while enjoying light refreshments.

This year's competition theme is Boston Neighborhoods: Holiday in the Hub. This theme invites participants to showcase their appreciation and connection to Boston's 24 vibrant neighborhoods, plus those cities and towns from Amesbury to Nantucket and out to Worcester. We encourage gingerbread creators to consider more than just the biggest icons, we want to see what you love most about living and working in this region.

The reception will include a brief awards ceremony awarding projects for receiving donation-based votes and online engagement. This event concludes the 2024 exhibition, which will close at noon on December 12, 2024.

Want to submit your own gingerbread to the competition? We will be accepting any late-coming projects on weekdays through December 2! Let us know if you plan to bring one in by telling us about it here.


Your registration includes acceptance of the BSA photo release and consent policy. Registrants to this event will be added to the BSA Space mailing list for updates on future public programs and exhibitions. Registrants may unsubscribe at any time.
