Gingerbread Haven 2024 was nothing short of magical—a heartwarming tradition where families, coworkers, and friends came together to kick off the Christmas season. Guests of all ages decorated gingerbread houses, selecting from more than two tons of candy in a whimsical winter wonderland. From joyful laughter to the sparkle of Christmas lights, the event was filled with holiday cheer. But beyond the fun, something even more meaningful was happening—lives were being impacted.
As one guest shared,
“This is the most special family tradition at Christmas now, with all generations decorating together.”
A local business group echoed the sentiment, saying, “We look forward to this Christmas gift from our office every year!”
None of this would be possible without the dedication of over 350 volunteers, who poured their hearts into making the event a success over three days. From pre-event prep and setup to serving as elves, greeting guests, and handling cleanup, each volunteer played a vital role.
Gingerbread Haven is more than an event—it’s a moment of joy, a tradition of giving, and a testament to the power of community. Interested in helping next year or finding ways to serve year-round? Visit Midland Fair Haven to get involved and make a difference.
