Lititz Fire & Ice Festival
February 12th - February 15th, 2027
and
February 18th - February 21st, 2027
When the air gets cold, Lititz heats things up. Our Annual Fire & Ice Festival is winter’s coolest event.
Throughout our four-day festival across two consecutive weekends, 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 and eateries!

Winter’s Coolest Night Out
We’re so excited to host our annual Winter’s Coolest Night Out, a Fire & Ice ticketed preview party featuring live music, delicious eats and drinks, and a live, giant ice sculpture carving.
Kid’s Fire & Ice Saftey Showcase
We had so much fun at this event last year so we are bringing it back in 2027! This kid-focused day will offer fire and ice themed safety demonstrations as well as science experiments to keep everyone busy and engaged!
Scavenger Hunt
A digital scavenger hunt to add a little competitive fun to your visit.
Fire Shows
The Fire Shows will look a little different this year! We are bringing in a new performer to freshen things up in a new location! Stay tuned for more information.
Location
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
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.
The Fire & Ice Festival wouldn’t be possible without our amazing volunteers! It takes a village to bring the ice carvings, fire shows, and festivities to life, and our volunteers are the energy that makes it all happen.
If you’re looking for a way to give back and have a blast while doing it, we’d love to have you. If you are interested in being a part of our fun, energetic team, click the link below to sign up for a shift!

FAQ
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.

Yes! There are public restrooms at the Lititz Welcome Center – at the entrance of Lititz Springs Park. The Welcome Center restrooms will be available Monday - Saturday from 10AM to 4PM. There will be extended hours on Friday 2/20 and Saturday 2/21 until 8PM.
We’ll also have additional bathrooms available just off of East Main Street on South Sturgis Lane and at our Food Truck Food Court, in the rear parking lot at Lititz Mutual Insurance.
-
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!
-
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.
