The following description comes from the event organizer.

The Benson Portland, a Curio Collection hotel by Hilton, invites the public back once again for a live unveiling of the 2022 Gingerbread Masterpiece, a 50-year holiday tradition.

This year’s theme celebrates a major Oregon attraction (to be revealed at the event) and honors the hotel’s founder and local designer Simon Benson’s decade of public service to the state of Oregon and the city of Portland. This majestic creation will be an original treasure made entirely of confectionary delights, and enchanting to all ages.
