What's Cold is HOT at this Year's
LITITZ FIRE & ICE
February 16th - 25th
| |
From Frozen to FIRE! We're so excited to share what we have in store for this year's Lititz Fire & Ice Festival.
We'll begin the week with giant frozen sculptures. Come to town, shop around, and pose with your favorite icy creations. Then, we'll end the festival with more ice, lots of art, and FIRE! Thrilling Fire Dancer and Acrobat, Miss Molly Dazzle, will bring her family-friendly performance to Lititz Springs Park on Friday, February 23rd and Saturday, February 24th. Shows will be at the top of the hour at 6pm and 8pm on Friday night and 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm on Saturday night. On Friday, our 7pm hour is reserved for live music. Bundle up and head to the park for fire, followed by music, followed by more fire! The fire show is brought to you by USGA on the Stray Production Services Stage.
If you've got your heart set on spring, mark your calendar for the U.S. Women's Open, coming to Lancaster Country Club this spring thanks to the folks at USGA!

Throughout the Festival
February 16th-25th
| |
Regardless of when you visit during our 10-day event, you'll have plenty to see and do! Ice sculptures will glisten throughout town on all 10 days of the festival. We'll even update the sculptures, adding fresh ice before our second weekend!
If you want to warm up and admire images frozen in time, head to the 3rd floor (there is an elevator) of the Lititz Shirt Factory during Collusion Tap Works' hours. There, you can view the Local Eyes Photography Exhibit, sponsored by Barley Snyder, Attorneys at Law and AmeriHealth Caritas. Images will be shared on our website, Facebook, and Instagram pages. We'll post during the festival!
Also throughout the festival, The Jason Burkholder Team at Hometown Property Sales Group will be sponsoring our Fire Crawl. Special fire-themed drinks, menu items, candy, gifts and more will be available throughout town. Take the 10 days of the festival to try everything! We'll post a menu of offerings closer to the event start date!
A few surprises: During the first weekend of the event, be sure to head to the Lititz Springs Inn patio to say "cheers" at their ice bar. Still thirsty? Head over to Collusion Tap Works for food and drinks in the warmth of their tent, sponsored by RealtyONE Group Unlimited.
