18th Annual Habitat for Humanity Victoria Gingerbread Showcase

About this event

An iconic Victoria holiday tradition, Habitat Victoria’s Gingerbread Showcase, presented by Peninsula Co-op and hosted at the Hotel Grand Pacific is back for its 18th year! This is Habitat Victoria’s premier annual fundraising event, contributing to helping local families get a hand-up into affordable homeownership. The event sees over 20,000 visitors from school groups, community groups, Victoria locals, tourists and more. All attendees are encouraged to vote for their favourite and make a donation. The Showcase is made possible by the dedication of Habitat Victoria’s volunteer Gingerbread Ambassadors, who engage with visitors on-site while supporting donations, sharing information, and bringing the event to life. Professional and home bakers alike spend hundreds of hours interpreting this year’s Showcase theme, bringing it to life in dozens of creative ways using edible materials of all kinds. Their finished creations are judged across the following award categories: Best First Impression Best Use of Skill and Technique Best Interpretation of the Theme Most Creative and Original Most Diverse Use of Ingredients The People’s Choice Award
