Gingerbread House Competition 2025
La Grange,

Let’s make this the sweetest showdown LaGrange has ever seen! The La Grange Railroad Museum is calling on bakers, builders, and candy-loving creaters to enter the LaGrange Railroad Museum’s Gingerbread House Competition. Rules are simple: build at home (max size: 18″x18″), drop off your masterpiece by December 5th, all houses will be showcased during Light Up LaGrange on December 6th. One lucky winner gets a FREE rental of our historic dining car ($250 value!).
Now’s the time to sketch your design, gather your gumdrops, and start planning your sugary showstopper. Help fill the museum with gingerbread magic—so many houses we’ll need a whole village! Gather your friends, challenge your neighbors, and let’s make this the biggest (and tastiest) competition yet. All ages welcome.
