Maize & Snitz Fest

About this Event

Maize & Snitz Fest returns Saturday, October 3, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. to the 1719 Museum! The festival brings Lancaster County's early Indigenous and European cultures to life with historical demonstrations, local vendors, and tours of the Herr House and Lancaster Longhouse. At Maize & Snitz Fest, artisans showcase traditional crafts originating from Europe and the Indigenous Peoples of the Eastern Woodlands. These crafts--including apple butter making, blacksmithing, beadwork, and music--have shaped Lancaster County's history and now tell its story. Throughout the day, interpreters will lead demonstrations near the Herr House and the Lancaster Longhouse, offering insight into historic art forms, industries, and traditional cooking. Guests can also bid on silent auction items, courtesy of local donors, artists, and businesses. Specific activities for children include crafts, eighteenth-century games, and a scavenger hunt with prizes. Admissions Adults - $15 Youth (6-16) - $7 Children 5 and under - complimentary
