Gingerbread Coverage

The 30th annual National Gingerbread House Competition will be held Nov. 21, 2022, at Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville. 

So the national gingerbread house competition actually began in 1992. So it was just a bunch of community members in the area and they wanted another way to celebrate the holiday season. They honestly had no plans to continue it the following year, but then fast forward. We're going into our 30th competition and the national gingerbread house competition is one of the nation's most celebrated and competitive holiday events. So the national gingerbread house competition actually commences on monday november 21st. So we invite all of our amazing competitors right here on property in Asheville and the competitors come and compete. And then right after the competition, all of the houses go out on display. So we display each and every entry here starting monday november 28th through january 2nd, um the official display opens to the public. So each and every entry is on display. You can come in and visit all the houses here when you drive on property. There is no complimentary parking during the fall and holiday season. So, So it is $25 if you are a day guest, $20 if you were an overnight guest looking to South Park. So we have what's called the holiday parking program. And since its inception in 2013, we've actually been honored to contribute over $680,000 to not for profit partners in the Western North Carolina area. So a portion of all of our parking proceeds are actually donated to these not for profit partners
