Fayetteville's Gingerbread Festival

Nestled in the picturesque mountains of West Virginia you can step back in time and enjoy Fayetteville's Gingerbread Festival! Fayetteville gets all dolled up for the holidays celebrating with true small-town flair. Escape the hustle and bustle of the holidays and enjoy a getaway with your family. You can shop small and enjoy strolling around historic downtown as the town is transformed into a candy land with gingerbread decor throughout town. This year, the festival will have a winter wonderland theme. The Festivities kick off on December 6th with fun lined up throughout the whole weekend.
