Description

The Marbles Gingerbread Jamboree 2026 is a festive holiday event where participants decorate their own keepsake gingerbread houses. This seasonal experience allows families and friends to create sweet masterpieces together without the stress of cleaning up afterwards. Participants enjoy a creative atmosphere focused on holiday fun and building lasting memories.

During the session, guests can build their own reusable gingerbread house structures. The event offers a unique option for returning guests to bring back one previously purchased house to decorate at no additional cost. If you are decorating multiple houses, additional materials are available for a small fee. This hands-on experience provides all the necessary supplies for a seamless crafting session.

This event is perfect for families, friends, and holiday enthusiasts looking for a creative outing. Museum admission is not included with your ticket, but all purchasers receive an email three weeks before the event containing a discount code for museum access. Purchase your table reservation and gingerbread house kits online to secure your spot for this popular holiday tradition. We look forward to seeing your festive creations at the jamboree.
