We thank this event's presenting sponsor, Renewal by Andersen, with support from JMU Dining.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Visit downtown businesses to build your own box of unique, locally-made holiday treats during this self-guided tour that's great for groups of friends and families alike!

Start the tour by picking up your bakery box on Court Square and then explore the participating locations in any order you choose.

Each cookie will be individually wrapped by our participating bakeries. A map of participating locations and a description of each cookie will be provided at the event check-in. One ticket gets you one box of treats. Multiple people (i.e. families, couples, friend groups, etc.) may participate under one ticket.

We are also thrilled to bring back our allergy-friendly variations of Cookie Tour! Participants may opt to receive cookies that are nut-free when purchasing "Cookie Tour Tickets," or purchase "Gluten-Free Cookie Tour Tickets" for a box of 5 gluten-free treats. While the treats for these tours will be made without the use of gluten or nuts, please note that these bakeries have exposure to gluten and nuts.

Available Tickets:

Cookie Tour Tickets ($26 + service fees): Collect one dozen holiday treats by visiting twelve local retailers. Nut-free option available. 220 total tickets available.
Gluten-Free Cookie Tour Tickets ($15 + service fees): Collect five holiday treats by visiting the check-in booth and four downtown businesses. 40 total tickets available.
