The 2020 Edition of the Lititz Fire & Ice Festival
Lititz, Pennsylvania, is a small town with a big agenda of community events that take place throughout the year. In general, there’s so much stuff to do in Lititz: restaurants, shopping, lodging, and more. The first of the annual community events is the Fire and Ice Festival. In 2020, this free* event takes place February 14 – 17, 2020. *Note that the Chili Cook-off on Saturday does have a fee (more on that below).
See the schedule below.
Friday night, the event kicks off with the ice carving and live music in downtown Lititz. Saturday is the annual Chili Cook-off and other events at Warwick High School. During all four days of the event, you can tour the streets and the park to see these amazing ice sculptures.
2020 will be the 15th year for this event. Last year, an estimated 40,000 turned out for the festivities.
