Bird-in-Hand Half Marathon, 5K & Kids’ Fun Run

Bird-in-Hand Half Marathon, 5K & Kids’ Fun Run

Every year in June, on the last Thursday and Friday of the month, thousands of eager bidders and sellers mingle with other browsers, buyers and collectors under big white tents spread over acres of scenic green farmland. The auction attracts about 2,000 registered bidders each year among those who come to bring home special new treasures; and it requires an estimated 550 volunteers to make it all happen!

Handcrafted quilts. Fine antiques. Charming collectibles. Unique furniture. Tools. Vivid flowers and lush shrubs. Horse tack, including fine saddles, as well as carriage accessories. There are miniature horses and over 125 coaches and buggies sold on consignment—everything from gleaming new Amish buggies to ornate 19th century pleasure carriages. The sheer number and variety of goods at this signature Lancaster County event translates into something to catch everyone’s eye (https://www.bihfire.com/auction/).
