Gingerbread House contest supports Coastside Children’s Programs, Saturday

Coastside Children’s Programs’ annual Gingerbread House Contest and auction supports affordable childcare on the Coastside.

Beginning at 4:30 on Saturday, December 10, at the Ritz-Carlton, a remarkable collection of gingerbread houses will be on display. Later that evening, the Ritz’s annual tree lighting ceremony will light up the coast.

Kids will love the spectacular entries, created by both community kids and Bay Area chefs. If you haven’t been to the tree lighting, why not start this year? You will also have an opportunity to bid on dozens of donated items in CCP’s first annual online auction.

Come early, because the tree lighting draws a crowd every year. Admission is free, but there is a $5 fee for valet parking.
