The first will be a day of tastings, dubbed Pretzel Fest, geared more to adults, and it will raise funds for the second, dubbed Kids Fun Day in the Park, a day of games designed to appeal to children. Pretzel Fest, which will include up to 20 treats and beverages to try at Lititzarea venues, will be held on Saturday, May 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kids Fun Day in the Park will be held on Saturday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Lititz Springs Park, 18 N.
