2026 Gingerbread Build

Get into the holiday spirit with the City of Novato's annual Gingerbread Build! Bring the family to the Margaret Todd Senior Center to decorate gingerbread houses and enjoy some festive holiday fun.

Sessions at 9:30 and 11 am include holiday music, hot chocolate, and coffee. A special sensory-friendly session at 1 pm offers quiet music, smaller groups, and a space for breaks, making it welcoming for participants with sensory sensitivities and other access needs.

Only one gingerbread house kit is needed per family. Groups of more than four people are encouraged to purchase an additional kit.

Admission: Registration required. Additional kits are $16.

Registration: Opens November 3, 2026, through Novato Parks & Recreation.
