The HeART Gallery and Studios is bringing back their Holiday Cookie Festival for a second year.
The event will be held on Saturday Oct. 12 and Thursday Oct. 17 and 12 pm at HeART Gallery/St. Paul’s Lutheran church, 428 N Erie St.

“We want to use this festival as an opportunity to shine a spotlight on excellent home-bakers in the Greater Toledo area,” Kate Philabaum, Director of HeART Gallery said. “We hope this will include favorite family recipes as well as ethnic cookies that our community is known for. Each cookie will be accompanied by its story of inspiration or family tradition, and we look forward to learning about each other through our holiday baking traditions.”
