Event Details

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

Throughout our 10-day celebration, we’ll have all the Fire & 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 Annual Winter’s Coolest Night Out, a ticketed Fire & Ice preview party featuring live music and a live carving.

We’re also bringing back the Kid’s Fire & Ice Safety Showcase event. This kid-focused day will offer activities, learning demonstrations and more for your favorite children. Other returning events will include our scavenger hunt, our local art exhibit, our fire shows, our Maker’s Market, and our unique version of a Fire & 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! How cool is that?

Downtown Lititz Map

Fire & Ice fun spreads throughout the entirety of our historic downtown district. Sculptures will be displayed on Main and Broad Streets, as well as on Juniper Lane and at the entrance to Lititz Springs Park. Parking is available on the streets, as well as in parking lots situated behind our shops and restaurants throughout town. On the weekend, you’ll find available parking at the high school and middle school with an easy entrance to the park. Please be mindful not to use our church parking lots on Sundays.

Restaurants & Food Trucks

Cool Town.

Hot Food.

Here’s Where to Fuel Up During Fire & Ice

All the fun at Fire & Ice is sure to work up an appetite. Throughout the event, we encourage you to enjoy our downtown restaurants. For a meal that matches our theme, head to Blackworth Live Fire Grill, where your food is cooked over a crackling wood fire. Reservations here are strongly suggested.

Of course, you’ll probably want to head to the Lititz Springs Inn & Spa for a drink at their ice bar! We recommend stopping by their courtyard for a “frozen” round and then heading inside to the Inn or to the Bulls Head Public House for a warm meal.

Head to our newest Downtown Lititz addition on Main Street – Beccafico – for some traditional Southern Italian dishes with contemporary flair!

Looking for coffee or something more casual? No worries. You’ll find cool sculptures and hot coffee (as well as sandwiches and baked goods) at Slate Cafe and Cafe Arabella on East Main Street, Tomato Pie Cafe on North Broad Street, Dosie Dough on South Broad Street, and the endlessly delicious Brazilian Table.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we park? Since we aren’t closing down any streets for this year’s event, metered parking will be available along our streets, as well as in several downtown parking lots. Our side streets aren’t metered and often have plenty of open spaces. You’ll also find open spaces in our church lots. However, please don’t use these lots on Sundays.

What are the hours? Our Fire & Ice sculptures are on display starting February 13th at 4pm and throughout the festival. That said, they’re best viewed during daylight hours. Bonus? You’ll get to drop into our shops and do our scavenger hunt during daylight hours as well. We recommend coming between 10am and 4pm, but we’re certainly happy to receive you before or after!

Where should we stay? Lititz has lots of great lodging options. If you want to be able to walk to all that our downtown has to offer, we recommend The Wilbur Hotel, Lititz Springs Inn and Spa, The Alden House, and Lititz Suites on Main. Just a mile and half away is the rock-and-roll chic Hotel Rock Lititz. For a full list of hotels in the surrounding area, click here.

Are there public restrooms? Yes! There are public restrooms at the Lititz Welcome Center – at the entrance of Lititz Springs Park. We’ll also have additional bathrooms available at our Food Truck Court.

Is this a family friendly event? Absolutely! However, please do be careful that your children don’t attempt to climb or play on the ice sculptures. They are definitely not meant to be leaned on!

Is this a dog friendly event? We strongly discourage bringing your pup. Although we’re huge fans of our furry friends, we think it’s best for everyone if they stay home. Why? Because leashes and ice sculptures don’t get along. There have been incidences when an owner on one side of a sculpture and a dog on another leads to catastrophe. We also know that crowds can tend to stress out even the most laid back dogs. If you do bring Fido, please help us by being super vigilant and absolutely leave your retractable leashes at home.
