A magical tradition of sugar, spice, and creativity!
Each year, artists, bakers, and dreamers from across the region gather at Mustard Seed Hill to
compete in one of Kentucky’s most beloved holiday traditions:
Kentucky's Annual Gingerbread House Competition in Millersburg, Kentucky.
From miniature mansions to whimsical winter scenes, the Gingerbread House Competition
showcases the imagination and craftsmanship of creators young and old.
In 2026, we’re back with more spotlight, more storytelling, and more magic.
