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.

    Kole Chophouse

    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.

  • Black and white logo of Lititz Springs Inn featuring a window with an arched top, two lanterns on either side, and the text 'Lititz Springs Inn' below.

    Lititz Springs Inn & Spa

    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.

  • Black and white sign for Beccafico, a Southern Italian restaurant in Lititz, Pennsylvania, established in 2024, featuring a graphic of a bird and a flower.

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

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.

 

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 14th 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. We’ll also have additional bathrooms available just off of East Main Street on South Sturgis Lane and at our Food Truck Food Court, across from the park and also accessible off of North Lane.Item description

  • 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.
