UPDATE:
**Rotary Club of Lititz Craft Show Update**
Due to the recent flooding in Lititz Springs Park, the Rotary Club of Lititz annual Craft Show, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 11, will be moving all vendors onto Main and Broad Streets. The show will now run from Front Street to Center Street on Broad Street, and on East Main Street, it will be extended to Oak Street. We will be contacting the vendors who have been impacted to discuss their new location. We apologize for any inconvenience and are looking forward to a wonderful show and hopefully some sun!
The Rotary Club of Lititz Craft Show is hosting its annual outdoor craft show. The event was launched in 1979 with only local vendors setting up on a single block along East Main Street in Lititz. Now it has grown into one of the top craft shows on the East Coast, drawing 700 crafters from throughout the United States and Canada. The craft show, always held the second Saturday in August, draws upwards to 50,000 people to the heart of Lititz. The show is held along the first four blocks of East Main Street, along three blocks of Broad Street and in Lititz Springs Park. Several local vendors will offer food stands as well. Admission is free!
The array of crafts includes pottery, jewelry, children’s clothing, knitted sweaters, quilts, baskets, photography and artwork, wooden decor, kitchen items, aprons, hats, wreaths, brooms, candles, dolls and much, much more.
The money raised through renting out spaces to the crafters, subtracting expenses, is given right back to the community. The Rotary Club of Lititz donates to nonprofits such as Lititz Springs Park, Lititz Library, Warwick Community Ambulance Association and local fire companies.
The 39th Annual Lititz Rotary Craft Show will take to the streets of Lititz August 11.
Despite last weekend’s flooding in the Lititz Springs Park, The Lititz Rotary Club will present its 39th annual Craft Show Saturday, Aug. 11.
While the show will go on, members of the Lititz Rotary Club will be making some adjustments because of the wet current conditions of the park. Crafters in the park will be moved to the street.
