When the air gets cold, Lititz heats things up. Our Annual Fire and Ice Festival is winter's coolest event.

Throughout our 10-day celebration, we'll have all the Fire and Ice awesomeness you've come to expect, like wow-worthy ice sculptures, yummy food from our downtown restaurants, and on select days, your favorite food trucks. Of course, there will also be plenty of shopping in the warmth of our downtown shops.

What else can you expect? We're so excited to host our 4th Annual Winter's Coolest Night Out, a Fire and Ice preview party featuring live music and a live carving.

We're also bringing back the Winter FUNderland event. This kid-focused day will offer activities, bouncy attractions and more for your favorite children. Other returning events will include our scavenger hunt, our photography exhibit highlighting iconic Lititz images, our fire show, our Maker's Market, and our unique version of a Fire and Ice themed pub crawl. We'll give you a card listing all the downtown Lititz bars and restaurants featuring fire-themed drinks. Your job? Sample the drinks throughout the week and then vote for your favorite. How cool is that?

Schedule of Events:

11:00 am - 4:00 pm: Lititz Maker's Market - The Fire and Ice Edition

Here in Lititz, we love all things local…and we especially love our local artists and makers. This market will showcase their work on a much larger scale than last year. We'll be in the heated comfort of Linden Hall‘s gymnasium with lots more room to feature the talent that lives in and around Lititz!

This year's Maker's Market is full with tremendous talent. If you'd like to join us as a maker next year, keep an eye on our website and social media in October!

Giant sculptures are being carved yet again! A second round of giant ice sculptures will be carved in the park during our final Saturday - brand new for this year!
