Lititz Fire & Ice Festival
When the air gets cold, Lititz heats things up. The Lititz Fire & Ice Festival is a 10-day winter celebration in downtown Lititz, PA, with ice sculptures, fire shows, food from downtown restaurants, food trucks on select days, and shopping in the town’s stores. The 2027 festival runs Friday, Feb. 12 to Sunday, Feb. 21.
