Sweeten Your Holiday Season at the 23rd Annual Cookie Walk!
Get ready to indulge your sweet tooth and support a great cause at the 23rd Annual Cookie Walk, hosted by Bismarck Art and Galleries Association! This beloved holiday tradition is back on Saturday, December 7th, offering a festive array of homemade cookies that are sure to brighten your season.
From 10 AM until the last cookie is gone, visitors can shop for an incredible selection of over 500 dozen cookies—baked fresh by community volunteers. Whether you’re a fan of classic gingerbread men, buttery snickerdoodles, rich fudge, or beautifully decorated cut-out cookies, there’s something for every taste. And with a variety of holiday favorites available by the pound, you’ll be able to fill your boxes (and your belly!) with all the sweet treats your heart desires.
The Cookie Walk is more than just a chance to stock up on delicious goodies—it’s a vital fundraiser supporting the arts in Bismarck. All proceeds from the event help fund local arts programming, exhibitions, and educational opportunities at Bismarck Art and Galleries Association, ensuring that the arts continue to thrive in our community.
So, gather your friends and family, bring your appetite, and join us for a festive and fulfilling morning at the Cookie Walk. But don’t wait too long—cookies are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and with such a fantastic selection, they’re sure to go fast!
Sweet treats, good company, and a great cause—don’t miss this holiday favorite!
Cookie Boot Camp is Just Around the Corner!
You’ve probably heard of our super famous Cookie Walk – held the first weekend each December. The whole gallery is filled with THOUSANDS of cookies and then sold by the pound to HUNDREDS of people from the community.
This is an important fundraiser for BAGA. The funds raised sustain us through much of the winter – which can sometimes be a quieter time for us, financially.
In order to have thousands of homemade cookies on hand for the walk, two things have to happen:
- Our members bake and donate five dozen cookies/treats, or donate cash to help us buy ingredients
- A group of volunteers gathers to bake and decorate more than 1,200 cookies during Cookie Boot Camp.
Would you consider donating either cookies or cash this year? And if you love baking and decorating, consider joining our crew of bakers/decorators! We gather prior to the Cookie Walk and work as a team to mix, roll/shape, bake and decorate. It takes us about 5 hours and it’s a ton of fun!
