9th Annual Gingerbread Festival

Updated: Apr 12, 2024


We would once again like to show our appreciation for all the sponsors and participants of the 9th Annual Gingerbread Festival. You helped us to raise over $14,000 towards our build program!


This event would not be possible without the generosity of our title sponsor, Jacqueline Pennington Re/max Hallmark, family and team. The Pennington Team is hands on for this event, not only committing to sponsor but also donating their time for the festival. They were willing to get messy to promote it and agreed to be part of our judging panel.

Thank you so much for making this experience fun for us and the community.


Local businesses made our festival a reality by helping us in many ways.


Prizing this year was supported by:

Prep Food Company 

Spark - Smart Toys for Cool Kids 

Canada Candy Company Inc 


All kits were provided by:

Giant Tiger Cobourg

Your Home Hardware: Cobourg/Port Hope/Newcastle 

Bulk Barn Cobourg


And we would like to recognize the @experiencecobourg for providing the cookies we distributed for Cobourg's Christmas Magic inviting the public to our festival.


This initiative was spearheaded by former employee Heather Jopling and we would not be where we are without her vision. If you see Heather, give her a sweet high-fives.

We look forward to next year's 10th Annual Festival.

What a delightful recap of the Gingerbread Festival! Your coverage of the creativity and community involvement really paints the experience vividly. I recently came across a discussion on https://gocollectiv.com/ about seasonal community events, which shared additional ideas for family-friendly participation. Your post is both inspiring and informative—perfect for anyone planning to attend next year.
