Gingerbread Village

The Sheraton Grand Seattle hosts the amazing Gingerbread Village, on display this season for its 29th year. Stop by the hotel to view the impressive architectural creations. Expect jaw-dropping amounts of candy and sugar constructed into fanciful shapes! Hint: This year’s theme has something to do with where chocolate is made.

Details: Free, though this annual event is a fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and a $5 per person donation is encouraged. Open daily Nov. 21, 2023–Jan. 1, 2024. Viewing hours are 9 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday–Thursday, and 9 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
