    Shop local in Lancaster City for the holidays

    Shopping

    Make your list and grab your walking shoes—it’s time to set out on a shop-local journey and spread some holiday cheer along the way as you support local Lancaster City retailers this holiday season.

     

    The 2023 Lancaster City Holiday Retail Trail was created by Fig to encourage everyone to support small businesses this holiday season in partnership with City of Lancaster, Discover Lancaster, Fulton Bank, and Willow Valley Communities.

    WHERE TO FIND THE GUIDE

     

    Can’t find it? You can download and print your Retail Trail here.

    HOW IT WORKS

     

    Bring your printed guide along as you do your holiday shopping around Lancaster City. At participating stores, ask for a sticker to place on one of 12 circles on your Retail Trail. When you gather all 12 stickers, take your guide to Miesse Candies at 118 North Water Street to redeem for a delicious chocolate elf through December 23.

     

    Select local businesses will have a hidden elf on a shelf. If you find it, take a picture for a chance to win brand new Fig merch. Tag @figlancaster in your photos to enter, and you may also get featured on Fig Lancaster’s Instagram!

    PLAN YOUR ROUTE

     

    Find giftable items and get your trail stickers at participating retailers across Lancaster City. Look for these festive ground decals at participating stores for an extra special season of gifting this year.
