The Story
Hyatt Regency Vancouver is bringing back its annual Gingerbread Lane fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Canada, running from Dec. 3 through Dec. 28.
Now in its 34th year, the event is described as Canada’s longest-running gingerbread display, with organizers transforming the hotel lobby into a “festive wonderland filled with gingerbread houses.”
Gingerbread Lane will take place at the downtown Hyatt Regency Vancouver location at 655 Burrard St.
Admission is free, and visitors are encouraged to donate through tap-to-donate stations and via QR codes displayed throughout the exhibit.
The event features gingerbread house submissions in categories including professional, for those who earn money for their “baking, pastry or culinary work,” and amateur, for hobby bakers who don’t earn an income from their baking.
Lower Mainland secondary schools also submit houses to the display.
Hyatt Regency Vancouver general manager Patrick Gosselin said the 34th edition will “celebrate community,” “spread holiday cheer” and raise money for children with critical illnesses.
Organizers said the event raised more than $35,000 for the charity last year.
