Gingerbread Village

We are thrilled to share that the 32nd Annual Sheraton Grand Seattle Gingerbread Village is back again later this year! Gingerbread Village is a cherished tradition benefitting Breakthrough T1D and type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

The process begins months in advance. Architects submit detailed schematics before the Sheraton chefs bake the gingerbread foundation for these 6-foot-tall masterpieces. The Breakthrough T1D Elves bring their unique perspectives to the designs, with some using AI tools, and others drawing from their cultures, and incorporating elements of their families and identities. The result is a breathtaking collaboration that showcases creativity, teamwork, and the spirit of the season.

When/where will Gingerbread Village occur this year?
