Sheraton Grand 1400 6th Ave, Seattle Phone: (206) 621-9000

Saturday November 23rd, 2019 - Wednesday January 1st, 2020

A local tradition that began in 1992, the Sheraton Grand Seattle is proud to continue its support of JDRF’s Greater Northwest Chapter by hosting the 27th annual Gingerbread Village celebration. Each year, a talented team of local architects, chefs from the Sheraton Grand Seattle, and children collaborate to build elaborate gingerbread creations to raise funds in support of JDRF’s vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.

To create the event, which has raised over $1 million and is free for the public to attend, the Sheraton Grand Seattle annually donates over 8,000 volunteer hours and thousands of pounds of dough, icing and candy. The Gingerbread Village event has become a recognizable holiday tradition in Seattle and at the heart of this celebration is embracing cheer and fostering community while giving back.

These are displayed in the lobby of the Sheraton and it's just one of the fun things to experience in downtown Seattle during the holiday season. Another suggestion is to walk over to 4th & Pine and ride the carousal. The money from that also goes to a worthwhile cause which varies from year to year.
