2025 Dec’ the Walls - Gingerbread House Decorating

Please join us in decorating a gingerbread house while listening to holiday music and enjoying signature cocktails and appetizers. Share in some holiday merriment while supporting the Portland Firefighters Children's Burn Foundation. Sign up today and be a kid again for a couple of hours! Because this is a fundraiser, there will be no sharing of houses. Each house will have only one decorator. If others would like to come and support this great event, we welcome them to join us, have a drink and appetizers in the bar, purchase raffle tickets and enjoy some holiday fun. However, due to the limited space, we will not be able to accommodate any non-decorators seated at the decorating tables. We appreciate your understanding. We will have 3 seatings at this event as outlined below:

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Family session

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Seating for adults 21+

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Seating for adults 21+

There will be no refunds for cancellations.

At the event, we will have many fabulous raffle items, and the proceeds from the raffle will further support this most worthy cause. We will accept cash or Venmo for raffle tickets, which will be sold during each seating. We will also be holding 3 special raffles. One for a Sea Dogs Skybox (a $700 value), a Bicentenial Large Tote SeaBag, and a Portland Stay Package. Special raffle tickets will be $10 each.

The raffles will be drawn at the conclusion of the last session (7:30 pm) and you will be notified of any prizes won. You do not have to be present to win.

A special Thank You to the many sponsors. We are grateful to Hannaford, Sullivan Bakery and Mo Terry for their part in making sure we have houses and candy to decorate. In addition this year we have a number of fiscal sponsorships from New England Cancer Specialists, Jackson & MacNichol, Silver Financial, Nonesuch Books, the Sudbay Family, Wendy Suehrstedt, and Karen MacDonald. Please help us thank the many businesses and people that support this event.

We also Thank YOU for supporting Dec' the Walls and the Portland Firefighters Children's Burn Foundation!
