The 209th July 4th Celebration in
Lititz Springs Park will take place on Saturday, July 4th 2026.
Home to the second oldest consecutive celebration
of America’s Independence in the United States!
In the earliest days of the United States, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail about the celebration of independence, “It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shows, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
(“Bonfires and illuminations” refer directly to what we know as pyrotechnics and firework displays.)
A week of events are being planned leading up to the big day on July 4! Information coming soon!
In Lititz Springs Park, where time’s gentle stream,
Flows through over two centuries, a patriot’s dream,
Two hundred and nine years have passed with grace,
Yet here we gather in this sacred place.
Beneath the boughs where freedom sings,
Where echoes of liberty take to wings,
We celebrate traditions old yet new,
In Lititz’s embrace, red, white, and blue.
From humble beginnings, a nation’s birth,
To the present day, cherished on Earth,
In every heart, a fire burns bright,
For the ideals that guide us through the night.
On this continuous journey, year by year,
In Lititz Springs Park, our spirits cheer,
For unity, courage, and dreams that soar,
In this land of freedom forevermore.
With laughter and joy, under skies so wide,
We honor the values for which we abide,
In Lititz’s embrace, through time’s gentle arc,
We cherish this 209th Fourth of July in the park.
