The Friends of Wood Memorial Library and Museum invite you to explore their 13th Annual Gingerbread House Festival: Shiny & Brite. Experience one of the largest gingerbread house festivals in New England as you stroll past fairy tale houses and fantasy trains all covered with bright, colorful candy. The Friends’ 13th Annual Gingerbread House Festival opens Thanksgiving weekend and runs from Friday, November 24th thru Sunday, December 17th, 2023.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season while gazing upon replicas of historical buildings alongside edible villages, all created by regional artisans and bakers, students and community members, expert and beginner alike. Finally, don’t forget to stop by “Ye Olde Gingerbread Shoppe” for the opportunity to take home a bit of the magic with many holiday themed gifts and treats.
