Lancaster County Carriage & Antique Auction
(Benefits Hand-in-Hand Fire Company) 
Thursday & Friday June 25 & 26 
2-day sale! Don't miss both days! 

ABOUT: Lancaster County Carriage & Antique Auction is a live auction event held under several open-air tents in the Lancaster County countryside. Each year, our team of 400+ volunteers and 20+ auctioneers transform our quiet country fields into a bustling marketplace that features 460 consignors and 4,000 event-goers from 27 states and 3 countries!  Proceeds from the auction benefit the Hand-in-Hand Fire Company, the volunteer fire company serving Bird-in-Hand, PA.  

NEW FOR 2026: After 25 years of tremendous support and repeat consignments, our processes and communications leading up to the event will look a little different this year. There will be no pre-consignments or pre-consignment catalog mailed this year. This will enable us to decrease costs and use volunteer time more wisely; both of which will maximize proceeds for the Fire Company.

Instead, we will be posting during Auction week as items come in. Consignments are still wanted, so start your spring cleaning and plan to consign with us! Most* consigning will take place during the week of the sale only. Just come by during our Drop Off Days: Tuesday, June 23 - Thursday, June 25, and our team will be ready to help. See page 6 inside for more details, including drop-off times each day. *Mini Horses and Quilts are the only categories that have an earlier consignment deadline. There is no change to the bidding process, so spread the word and come to bid and buy during 2026 Auction days, June 25th and 26th!

• Carriages, coaches, buggies, sleighs & wagons (150+ lots)

• Horse & carriage related items (1,200+ lots)
