The History of Lititz Pride Festival
In the spring of 2021, we came together as a group of passionate individuals to form 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 Lititz 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!
