Lititz Pride Festival 2026
Sat, June 6th | 11am-6pm
727 Furnace Hills Pike, a Rock Lititz Property
Day of Info
Lititz Pride Festival is FREE to attend, and we hope to see you there!
Please note that getting to the festival will look a little different this year. We will not have any onsite parking for attendees. We encourage attendees to park in downtown Lititz or at the TAIT parking lot (401 W. Lincoln Ave., Lititz, PA) and take one of our three shuttle routes to the festival. We’ll be sharing more details below to help you plan your visit.
All attendees must enter through a security checkpoint, located at each shuttle pick-up zone. Bags are subject to search by our private security team. Our Pride Peacekeepers will be at the festival all day to help ensure a safe and joyful experience for everyone.
Once you enter through security and before getting on the shuttle, you will be given a wristband that must be worn for the duration of the festival.
For the easiest way to plan your visit, check out our dedicated Pride Festival Digital Guide. The guide includes festival details, shuttle information, accessibility notes, safety guidelines, and other helpful updates all in one place.
Getting to Lititz Pride will look a little different this year.
Parking at the festival site will not be available for general attendees. Please do not attempt to drive directly to the venue unless you are being dropped off or using one of the limited accessible parking spaces reserved for wheelchair users.
To help attendees get to and from the festival safely and smoothly, we will be using a shuttle system with pickup locations around Lititz.
Attendees may park directly at the TAIT parking lot or use free public parking throughout downtown Lititz and walk a short distance to one of our shuttle pickup zones.
Shuttle pickup locations include:
- TAIT parking lot (401 W. Lincoln Ave., Lititz, PA) (onsite pickup)
- Cedar St (near Stoll and Wolfe)
- Maple St & Campus Drive (Warwick Campus area)
Shuttles will run continuously throughout the day, beginning at 10:30 AM, with pickups approximately every 20 minutes. The final shuttle pickup from the shuttle stops will be at 5:30 PM. The final shuttle pickup from the festival site will be at 6:30 PM.
Before boarding the shuttle, all attendees will go through a security screening. Bags are welcome and will be subject to search as part of this process.
If you are being dropped off or using Uber/Lyft, you may be dropped off directly at the festival venue at 727 Furnace Hills Pike. A security checkpoint will be available onsite for drop-offs and rideshare arrivals.
A very limited number of accessible parking spaces will be available onsite for attendees who are wheelchair users. Additional accessible parking spaces will also be available at the TAIT parking lot to help reduce walking distance.
If you’ve attended Lititz Pride before, some of this will still feel familiar. You’ll still be parking around town, but this year you’ll head to a shuttle pickup location instead of walking directly to the festival.
We know this is a change from past years, and we appreciate your patience as we work to make getting to Pride as smooth, safe, and accessible as possible.
While you’re in town, we also encourage you to visit and support downtown Lititz businesses before or after Pride.

Our Commitment to Inclusion
As attendees at Lancaster County Chooses Love events, upholding inclusive conduct is vital to maintaining a welcoming environment for all participants. Our code of conduct guides respectful, sensitive interactions that embrace diversity.
Making space for different voices, avoiding assumptions, and prohibiting harassment fosters participation across identities and experiences. These shared expectations help ensure that everyone feels valued, comfortable, and able to fully engage.

This event welcomes individuals of diverse backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. Make space for all voices. Avoid dominating discussions. Use inclusive language and do not make assumptions about others.
Sensitivity
Avoid offensive comments, insults, personal attacks, or insensitive jokes. Do not photograph, record, or share personal details about others without consent. Dress appropriately for a mixed community event.

Lancaster County Chooses Love may deny entry or remove anyone violating this code.
We are committed to making Lititz Pride as accessible and welcoming as possible for all attendees.
Accessible Parking
Our goal is to ensure that those who need closer access to the festival and shuttle pickup areas are supported. If you use a wheelchair, we will have limited parking available at the venue.
If you need other accessible parking options, we recommend using the TAIT parking lot, as we will have some spots designated for accessible parking, closer to the shuttle stops.
ASL Interpreters
ASL interpreters will be on stage throughout the day so everyone can enjoy and engage with performances.
Restrooms
We will have porta-potties and hand wash stations available on site. We will have several ADA-accessible units and a family unit, which includes a changing table.
Nursing Station
We will have a nursing station available for parents and caregivers who need a quiet, shaded area to nurse or feed their children during the festival.
The safety of our community is a top priority.
We work with a private security team that will be present throughout the festival. All attendees will go through a security checkpoint before entering, which includes a metal detector, and bags are subject to search.
Local police are aware of our event and our safety plan, and we have a direct line to emergency dispatch if needed. Police will only enter the festival grounds in the event of an emergency that requires their response.
We share this to be transparent and to acknowledge that members of our community may have different experiences and feelings regarding police presence. Our goal is to create a space that feels as safe and welcoming as possible for everyone.
Are dogs allowed?
Due to the location of this year’s event, dogs will not be permitted at the festival. Service animals are always welcome.
We appreciate your understanding as we work within the guidelines of our event space.
Can we bring a stroller?
Yes. Families are welcome to bring strollers to Lititz Pride 2026.
Because attendees will be using shuttles to get to the festival, we recommend bringing a collapsible stroller whenever possible. Larger strollers or non-collapsible items may not fit safely on the shuttle.
The venue has limited shade, so a stroller with a shade umbrella or canopy may be helpful.
Families are welcome to use the festival drop-off zone to let a parent, caregiver, children, wheelchairs, or strollers out before the driver parks and takes the shuttle. We know this isn’t perfect, and we appreciate your flexibility as we work together to make Lititz Pride as accessible as possible for everyone.

The History of Lititz Pride Festival
In the spring of 2021, we came together as a group of passionate individuals to form Lancaster County Chooses Love (formerly Lititz Chooses Love), a grassroots movement fueled by the belief that love is love is love. The seeds of this movement were planted when a Lititz resident reported multiple acts of vandalism against her Pride flag. In response, we issued a call for Lititz to come together and embrace love openly and unapologetically, and this call inspired our first-ever Pride event.
Our 2021 Pride Festival, organized and executed in just three short weeks, evolved into something far more than a one-day celebration of love and diversity. It transformed a simple call to action into a powerful event that spurred inspiring conversations and fostered strong connections that became the foundation of Lancaster County Chooses Love. We have grown into a trans-led, registered 501(c)3 organization with a reach extending far beyond Lititz, now touching the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals across Lancaster and Lebanon Counties and beyond!
