Community School of the Arts (CSA) will hold its third annual Gingerbread Competition from Saturday, Dec. 9 to Sunday, Dec. 17. For over a decade, families have creatively celebrated the holiday season with Community School of the Arts’ Gingerbread House Workshops. This annual event has turned into a beloved family tradition for many Charlotte families, and for the third year in a row, CSA is giving area business a chance to compete for the title of Gingerbread Champion of Charlotte, North Carolina. This contest is a way to show off the creative side of Charlotte businesses.
