The festival will include an appearance by Santa Claus, holiday music by Honeycomb Brass of BHSU, candy sacks for kids, drawings for three different holiday books, an exhibit with storyboards, photos and artifacts, and a table with crafts and a game, as well as refreshments.

There will also be a gingerbread house contest. A family that makes a gingerbread house at home can bring it to the museum and enter the contest. The winning house will be awarded a $50 gift certificate to the museum store.

As in previous years, there will also be a scavenger hunt within the Gingerbread Village and those who correctly finish it receive a candy cane.
