Saint Georges Episcopal Church, 1 Tucker Hill Road, Middlebury, , 06762

St. George's is excited to welcome the community back into the church to share the smell of gingerbread and excitement of visiting our magical gingerbread village this December. For many it has become a cherished December tradition to share with friends and family. Please join us for the official start of the holidays at our week-long event!

This year the theme Gingerbread Village and Bazaar is "It's Christmas Again". Inspired to bring back the Christmas season and celebrate together, due to the closure from the pandemic in 2020. As always, these masterpieces are made from only edible material and designed by St. George's parishioners. Everything from gum, candy, pasta, beans and tons of gingerbread are used to construct each unique showpiece. Be sure to look carefully to see reindeer, snowmen and perhaps even Santa! All items are for sale and will be available for pick up on the final day.

This mission is held near and dear to the heart of St. George's and is a proud local tradition for many. Enjoy the smell of spices, the sounds of laughter and the company of others who come to share in this very special event.

In addition to the village, the bazaar offers for sale – Christmas handcrafted items, holiday dollar store items, raffle baskets, limited baked items, and of course our gingerbread cookie kits. These will allow you to take home cookies and create your own masterpiece.

Food that will be prepared "to go" will be available Saturday December 4th and Saturday December 11th from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

Village hours are Saturday December 4 - 10 am to 7pm, Sunday Dec 5 -12 (noon) to 7pm. Monday through Friday 2:00 pm-4:00pm, 6pm-8pm. Saturday, December 11th - 10am-4pm. As always, parking and admission are free (donations welcomed). The church is handicap accessible.
