About this adventure

A quintessential downtown Seattle holiday tradition for more than three decades, the Sheraton Grand Seattle Gingerbread Village pairs the city's premier master architects and engineering firms with the hotel's expert culinary team. Together, they spend hundreds of hours designing and constructing jaw-dropping, room-sized architectural wonderlands made entirely from edible gingerbread, royal icing, pulled sugar, candy, and fondant. The display is located right in the lobby of the Sheraton Grand Seattle, directly accessible from 6th Avenue. It is free and open to the public daily, with donations gladly accepted to support Breakthrough T1D in funding type 1 diabetes research. The lobby is climate-controlled, well-lit, and fully stroller-accessible, making it an effortless and delightful stop between downtown shopping trips or visits to the nearby holiday carousel.
