The Toronto Society of Architects’ Gingerbread City is a fantastical metropolis where you can eat the walls and taste the lamp posts! A gingerbread showcase like no other, Gingerbread City brings together the TSA community (made up of architects, designers, students, and enthusiasts) each year in support of a local charity advancing work in housing and shelter.

This year’s city is filled with unique creations built by architects, bakers and clever place makers including flavorful student residences, tasty Victorians, and freshly baked parks! You will even find some edible renditions of Toronto's most recognizable landmarks, and delicious inspirations from cities far away. Funds raised will go towards supporting Red Door Family Shelter, a local organization that has provided emergency shelter and support for women and children affected by domestic abuse, families experiencing a housing crisis, and refugee claimants.
