World Largest Gingerbread City

Claimed as the world's largest gingerbread city, this tremendous display of Christmas spirit was a result of approximately 10,000 participants. There were 2,000 builders participating on Saturday alone. The gingerbread city consists of over 1,000 gingerbread homes and is built in Bergen, Norway every year around Christmas.

Last year, the gingerbread city suffered from heavy vandalism that sparked an outrage in locals and all participants. A majority of the gingerbread city was in ruins less than a day after they were put on display. Participants ranging from children to professional bakers joined the effort to rebuild the city.
