Calling all bakers. The Residence Inn/SpringHill Suites in Downtown Greenville is once again hosting the Greenville Gingerbread Exhibit, and organizers are looking for 50 talented bakers to bring the magic to life. Whether you’re a seasoned pastry chef, a weekend hobbyist, or a budding junior baker, this is your chance to showcase your creativity in cookie and candy form.

This year’s competition offers three categories:

  • Professional
  • Amateur
  • Junior Baker — new for 2025

Applications are due by Oct. 31, and the whimsical creations will be on display from Dec. 3 to Dec. 25.
