The Pueblo Gingerbread House Contest is a favorite holiday tradition at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Children and adults are invited to enter a Gingerbread house inspired by a Pueblo village, house, community church or historic building, with prizes awarded in children’s and adult categories. This year, we will also feature a virtual gallery of the amazing creations of past award winners. This festive event is a unique way to share and enjoy Pueblo culture with your family. Free for members, or with museum admission.
