The Homes for the Holidays Gingerbread House Contest, hosted by Community Homeworks, is an annual family-friendly holiday event focused on strengthening our community and raising awareness for the need for critical home repair support for homeowners in our community. Event proceeds benefit Community Homeworks’ critical home repair program.

The 2025 Homes for the Holidays Gingerbread House Contest will be held December 5th to 13th in and around locations in downtown Kalamazoo. The contest has again added an extra week to display entries in this third year downtown and will begin on an Art Hop evening (Dec 5). Gingerbread House entries will be available at participating locations on the Kalamazoo Mall, Michigan Avenue, and Lovell Street for viewing and voting. During the contest period community participants will have the opportunity to take a stroll through downtown Kalamazoo and vote for their favorite 2025 entries in the People’s Choice category. A list of participating locations and voting instructions are available at communityhomeworks.org/gingerbreadhousekzoo.
