Christmas in the Park
December 3rd, 6:30pm
We're decking the halls, and the bandshell, in preparation of this year's Christmas in the Park. This annual event, held by the amazing volunteers and staff at Lititz Springs Park, is the kickoff to our holiday celebrations.
The entire community is invited for live performances, the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree, a carol sing-along, and maybe even a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus!
This is a free event and usually lasts 30 to 40 minutes. Bundle up and join us for some holiday fun!

Lititz is a Finalist!
Vote for Lititz in the America's Best Main Street Contest
We need your help, friends!
Lititz has been named a finalist in the America's Best Main Street Contest. A win would mean $25,000 for us to use to preserve our historic facades and add public art to our downtown. It would also mean bragging rights and publicity that would attract more visitors to our shops, restaurants, hotels and B&Bs.
Voting is open through December 12 and, hint, you can vote up to 25 times a day. It's as easy as clicking the link below and hitting the "vote" button.
Like the images above? Both this month's cover photo and the Wilbur Fireworks image are the work of Lititz Photographer, Tom Roe. If you'd like to order one of his Lititz prints or book a session with him, visit his website.

Happy 1st Birthday, Tattered Shirt! |
Opening a business in the best conditions is a risk. Imagine opening a business and then having a worldwide pandemic set in. That's exactly what happened to our friends at The Tattered Shirt. Today, it's one year later and we're sure this awesome shop is a new Lititz mainstay. If you're looking for the perfect gift for a loved one who loves Lititz, look no further. You can find The Tattered Shirt online and on South Broad Street.
