Have a great weekend! It looks like there’s a lot to do around the county.
I found a makers market, live music, and more!
Me personally? I’ll probably be hanging out with friends, grabbing coffee, and enjoying the town.
Here’s what I think is worth your time this weekend.

If you’re looking for the perfect way to warm up during Fire & Ice weekend in Lititz, here’s one stop you won’t want to miss.
The Maker’s Market at Fire & Ice is back, bringing dozens of talented local artisans together under one roof for a cozy, high-quality shopping experience in the heart of town.
Hosted in partnership with Lititz Fire & Ice and held at Linden Hall School for Girls, the annual market has become a staple of the festival’s second weekend — offering a welcome indoor escape from the winter chill.
The Maker’s Market features around 60 carefully curated local artisans, each selected for craftsmanship and quality. From custom art and handmade jewelry to cozy home décor and gourmet treats, the variety is wide — and distinctly local.
Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift, something unique for your home, or just want to explore the creativity Lancaster County is known for, this market delivers.
And because it’s fully indoors, it’s also the perfect break between ice sculpture walks and outdoor festival activities.
Location: Linden Hall School for Girls, 212 E Main St, Lititz
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Sunday: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
