The festival, which raises money to support programs at the History Center, has become a holiday tradition that boasts an attendance of more than 12,000 visitors who come annually to see the fanciful gingerbread creations on display.<\/p>\n

A special preview party will be held on November 24. Reservations are $25 per person and can be made by calling Steve Toor, Events Coordinator, at 260.426.2882 ext 308.<\/p>\n

During Downtown Fort Wayne’s Lighting Night on November 25, visitors can get a sneak peek at gingerbread creations from 3 to 9 pm. At 5:15 pm that evening the History Center’s turret will be lit with special holiday colors of red and green.<\/p>\n
