Allentown, Pennsylvania (November 27, 2024) – Break out your best icing and gumdrops because Illumination is hosting its first ever Gingerbread House Competition on December 9th!

Illumination guests are welcome to bring their (pre-made) Gingerbread House creations to Coca-Cola Park on December 9th for an epic competition featuring four different age brackets:

  • Gumdrop: 8 and Under
  • Butterscotch: 9-12
  • Candy Cane: 13-16
  • Licorice: 17 and Up

Gingerbread Houses will be brought to Illumination pre-assembled and may be in any shape, form, or design that the creator thinks will give them the best opportunity to win! The Gingerbread Houses should be dropped off at Illumination from 6 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. the day of the event. Guests will have the opportunity to view the Gingerbread Houses until 8:15 p.m. when Illumination staff will judge and determine winners.

Each 1st place winner in each age bracket will get a $50 cash prize! Prizes will also be awarded in the form of 2025 IronPigs tickets and first pitch opportunities for an IronPigs game! Each participant bringing a Gingerbread House for entry will receive free admission to Illumination that night (additional family members will need to purchase separate tickets).
