The registration period for the 21st Annual City of Pittsburgh Gingerbread House Display and Competition is quickly approaching its final week, with the entry window ending on Sunday, November 5 at 11:59 PM. Interested competitors can register at www.pittsburghpa.gov/gingerbread through the deadline.
The CitiParks Office of Special Events welcomes individuals, schools, communities, non-profits, and professionals to express their creativity in celebrating the holiday season through the display. The competition began with downtown Pittsburgh hotels in 2002 to benefit the Children’s Hospital Free Care Fund and since has attracted thousands of entries and visitors to PPG Place before moving to the City-County Building in 2019.
This year’s display will open with a ceremony on Friday, November 17, with the entries remaining on display for Light Up Night on November 18, 2023, and through early January.
