Calling for Christmas Creativity

The Giant Cardboard Gingerbread House contest was a hit, so we are bringing it back for the second year!
We are simplifying our contest this year: Classic and Village
The answer to our most frequent questions: village gingerbread houses must be at least 60% cardboard, no edible pieces, and stay within the dimensional confines of 6 ft x 6 ft x 6 ft.
Classic gingerbread houses must remain 12 in x 12 in x 12 in and will be displayed on a table in the lobby.
We will have a contest registration link soon, which will include information on drop off and pick up.
The official vote will happen on Saturday, December 5th during our annual Tree Lighting!
More rules and updates to follow, but we're very much looking forward to everyone's creations.

The Municipality of Bethel Park has once again received the “Banner Community” designation for 2026 from the Allegheny League of Municipalities (ALOM). “We are honored to once again be recognized as a Banner Community,” said Bethel Park Manager Kristen Denne. “This designation reflects the dedication of our elected officials, staff and community partners who work together to make Bethel Park an outstanding place to live, work and visit." The Banner Community designation honors municipalities and authorities that distinguish themselves as model communities through a variety of sustainable practices. These practices include professional development, intergovernmental cooperation, sound fiscal management and proactive communications to engage community stakeholders. “Congratulations on your designation this year and for your dedication to good government,” said ALOM Associate Director Crystal Sickles. Bethel Park has received the designation each year since 2014.
