Become a part of Gingerbread Wonderland

MORRISTOWN — Create a gingerbread masterpiece that more than 10,000 people will view this holiday season. Each year, more than 200 gingerbread houses are displayed at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum’s ‘Gingerbread Wonderland.’ This year, become a part of the show! 

“The creation of the gingerbread house is a unique experience, and provides an excellent team building project. It’s thrilling to have thousands of people view, admire, photograph, and tweet your finished creation,” Lesley Parness, Superintendent of Horticultural Education, at the Morris County Park Commission stated.

Previous entries have included a scene from Snow White, Santa’s Workshop, a grand piano, a Hanukah Menorah, Chinese pagoda, a Nutcracker, and even the White House.

There is a special excitement in the air on Wednesday, December 2 when you bring your masterpiece for display and meet other entrants. Be prepared for the Ohhs and Ahhs, and to share stories about your creation. It is so much fun! Enjoy complimentary apple cider and holiday cookies.

For information on all you need to know to enter your own creation, click here  to download the Gingerbread Wonderland Entry brochure, and you can also view previous creations for inspiration. There are helpful recipes for gingerbread baking, and frosting tips.

Gingerbread registrations must be submitted by November 23. For more information and to register, visit arboretumfriends.org or call (973) 326-7603.

The Morris County Park Commission features one of the region’s best park systems in the state of New Jersey.  It currently protects and maintains 18,730 acres at 38 distinct sites plus offers a year-round calendar of events and activities for all to enjoy.
