Taste of Lititz
Block party to celebrate all the wonderful flavors of Lititz!
A charming, historic town that's full of exciting things to do, Lititz is the perfect place to visit for a weekend getaway.
Lititz was the first community in Pennsylvania to establish a historic district, so many of the buildings in town date back in history. Log, brick, and stone homes in a variety of English, German, and Victorian architecture styles help make it so picturesque.
The architecture is not the only thing that makes Lititz historic. It is also home to the oldest commercial pretzel bakery in America, Julius Sturgis Pretzels Bakery, founded in 1861 and Wilbur Chocolate, founded in 1894. The oldest all-girls boarding school, Linden Hall, founded in 1746 is located in town as well. The Lititz Springs Park which hosts many of the town’s events was created in 1741. For more information on the history of the town visit the Lititz Historical Foundation.
Speaking of events, Lititz knows how to celebrate! They hold the record for the oldest continuous annual 4th of July celebration in the Nation- thanks to a group of young men that played baseball in the park in honor of Independence Day in 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg to keep the tradition going.
In addition to these events, 2nd Friday in Lititz, held on the second Friday of every month, highlights the energy and enthusiasm of this charming small town. Shops are open late, with live musicians, artists and entertainers adding even more excitement to the sidewalks, patios and stores.
Lititz Farmer’s Market is held Thursday evenings from mid-May through mid-October from 4:30 PM until dusk in the Lititz Springs Park.
Downtown Lititz is packed with great places to eat- for being a small town there are certainly many options, some local favorites include:
