Downtown Lititz

Looking back. Moving forward. Building Lititz together. ❤️

One week ago, Venture Lititz gathered with local businesses, volunteers, sponsors and community partners for our 2026 Annual Meeting, and there was a lot to celebrate.

📍 35,000+ people experienced Fire & Ice 2026
🍽️ 8,000+ people enjoyed Taste of Lititz
🛍️ $600,000+ in Downtown Lititz spending was tracked through our 2025 Holiday Shopping Card Program
🌐 200,000+ visits to Lititz PA website in 2026
📱 40,000+ Facebook followers
🙌 Nearly $29,000 in volunteer value contributed since the beginning of 2026
💰 $150,000+ invested in tourism-related activities

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Our work is about creating reasons for people to visit, shop, dine, stay, gather and invest in Lititz. It's about supporting the businesses that make our downtown special, creating memorable experiences, preserving our community's character and building a strong future.

And now, we're looking ahead.

Venture Lititz is developing a new five-year action plan for Downtown Lititz, informed by more than 600 community survey responses and conversations with residents, businesses, property owners, volunteers, partners and local government.

We're asking a bigger question:

What should Downtown Lititz be like over the next five years?

We believe the answer should be shaped by our entire community.

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, board members, business owners and community partners who continue to invest their time, talent and resources in Lititz.

We love Lititz. And we're excited about what's next.

Tomorrow is the second-to-last Thursday of the Lititz Farmers Market 2026 season in Lititz Springs Park! 🍂✨

Grab the family and join us from 3:30PM to 7PM for free family fun, the freshest local goods, and that one-of-a-kind Lititz vibe!

Our final market day of the year is next week on Thursday, October 15th, so make sure to come out tomorrow and soak in the market magic while it's here! 🍎🎶

We extend our deepest gratitude to Earth to Lititz and the Lititz Outsider! Their generous financial support makes this fall market season possible and keeps our community thriving. We couldn't do it without you! 🙌✨

We have to interrupt this gorgeous, mild, sunny fall day to take things down about 40 degrees. Let's talk Fire & Ice 2027! 🔥❄️

It’ll be here before you know it, and our ice sponsorship sales have officially opened! Know a business (or maybe you!) that would love to sponsor an ice sculpture? We’d love to connect and discuss bringing your very own ice carving to downtown Lititz this February.

The sculpture pictured here is a 7-block giant—because around here, we say the bigger, the better! 😉 But we have sculpture options available in all different sizes.

Send us an email at [email protected], and let's talk ice, ice, baby! ❄️
