Only 12 Builder Spots Open for the Downtown Gingerbread Parade
Logan, UT · November 9, 2026
After Saturday night’s chilly defensive showcase on the gridiron, today brings a calm breather before a busy week of tip-offs and holiday preparations.
The Lead
The holiday season is quietly taking shape downtown, where the Logan Downtown Alliance has officially opened registration for the 27th Annual Parade of Gingerbread Homes. Participation is strictly capped at twelve culinary architects across community and professional divisions, competing for a slice of a six-hundred-dollar prize pool. Each handcrafted showpiece will be installed directly inside storefront windows along Main Street from December 5 through New Year’s Eve, turning a brisk stroll down the sidewalk into an interactive public gallery where passersby cast paper ballots for their favorites. For downtown retailers, the month-long showcase draws vital foot traffic right past their registers during the busiest shopping stretch of the calendar. Prospective bakers must submit their reservation through the alliance portal before the dozen spots vanish.
