A spectacular holiday tradition returns to Asheville—the National Gingerbread House Competition invites guests to marvel at hundreds of edible works of art crafted by bakers, architects and pastry designers from across the country. Each entry is at least 75% gingerbread and 100% edible, displayed in the grand setting of the historic inn’s halls and fireplaces. Learn More
Walk into a world of sweet imagination: towering gingerbread structures, whimsical details in icing and candy, and festive ambiance that invites every age to experience the creative spirit of the season. This event is especially ideal for guests staying at The Restoration Asheville who want to complement their stay with a memorable holiday outing.
From enjoying the visual spectacle beside the resort’s iconic architecture to sharing hot cocoa fireside, this competition brings big-holiday feelings with a small-town charm. Make time in your itinerary for a visit during the week (Sundays after 6 PM or Monday-Thursday) when access is smoother and crowds are lighter.
