Holiday Shopping!
Now Through January 4th
This holiday season, we're asking you to join us in shopping local in Lititz! Our goal is to purchase all of our gifts with small, locally owned retailers and artists. To incentivize you, we're bringing back our Holiday Shopping Card!
How's it work? Pick one up at any downtown Lititz retail shop and present it at checkout. Merchants at all of our downtown shops - plus Artisan Mill Co - will initial or stamp your card for every $20 you spend. Fill the card and give it back to any merchant. We'll collect all the cards and pick one to be the winner of our 2022 Holiday Gift Basket - filled with goodies from Lititz shops!

Christmas in the Park
December 2nd, 6:30pm
We're decking the halls, and the bandshell, in preparation of this year's Christmas in the Park. This annual event, held by the amazing volunteers and staff at Lititz Springs Park, is the kickoff to our holiday celebrations.
The entire community is invited for live performances, the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree, a carol sing-along, and maybe even a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus!
This is a free event and usually lasts 30 to 40 minutes. Bundle up and join us for some holiday fun!

Faces of Lititz
Introducing Sharon Landis
Owner of Zest!
We always stop.
Every time we pass Zest! on our downtown strolls, we find ourselves slowing and stopping to take it all in. The beautifully curated display windows, the exterior architectural details, blooming trees in the spring, overflowing flower pots in the summer, and holiday cheer when the air is cold…Zest! always shines.
And that’s no accident. Owner Sharon Landis has curated a gourmet kitchen destination that makes nationally branded shops pale in comparison. Your Zest! experience begins on the sidewalk and is only enhanced when you step inside. From cookware to spices to tableware and cookbooks, everything your favorite home chef and entertainer needs is on display.

Santa's Holiday Workshop for Kids Bunyaad, 19 E Main Street
So much fun for families! Bunyaad is bringing back their special Santa's Holiday Workshop that allows your children to pick out special gifts, all on their own.
Bunyaad transforms a portion of their store into a special workshop, filled with unique fair trade gifts for every family member. One of their elves will help children shop (parents - make sure you bring along a list and give a budget) so that you can be surprised by what they choose! They'll even wrap the gifts. This is such a sweet way to share the joy of giving with your children.
