Kent transforms into gingerbread village

Kent’s Gingerbread Festival is in place for the month of December with gingerbread creations in twenty-three locations.

They can be found up and down Main Street as well as the Village Barns, Kent Green, and Kent Town Center.

This year a ginger riddle is part of the festival: Each location will provide a map and a clue to be used for a solution. Not all 23 spots have a gingerbread house, some will just have a hidden gingerbread man, but all will provide clues.

The variety of gingerbread creations is vast, ranging from Susan Allen’s spectacular “Duomo” at The Heron Shop on Main Street to the Nursery School’s “Village” at Kent Memorial Library. Every stop on the map provides a true seasonal celebration.
