There are many ways to celebrate the holidays in the city, Christmas ships, Wildlanterns and soon the 29th annual Gingerbread Village at the Sheraton Grand Seattle. This tradition invites “architecture firms, skilled builders, Sheraton Grand Seattle chefs, and T1D champions” to create a truly magical gingerbread village.

What does T1D stand for? Type 1 Diabetes. This annual creative endeavour benefits the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and helps to research cures through funds raised.

Visitors to the village can make a donation towards their favourite gingerbread house which counts as a vote. At the While it is free to visit, a $5 donation per person is suggested as it directly supports JDRF.

Each year boasts a delightful new theme promising a truly unique and captivating experience. While the date for this season’s village has just been released, the theme has not yet been announced. Although, a look at the event page does show some house names like “The Golden Ticket” and “Oompa Loompa,” so we’ll let you do a bit of deductive reasoning on what the theme may be.

We will update you with new information as it becomes available.
