🚨 Important Dixon City Market Update! ☔ Due to the forecast for rain and the chance of inclement weather, Dixon City Market is canceled for Wednesday, Aug. 5.

The biggest priority is making sure the kids participating in Dixon City Market Jr. get the great experience they've worked so hard for – not one spent in the rain. ❤️

The good news? Dixon City Market Jr. has been moved to Thursday, Aug. 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. and will take place at a new location on Lincoln Statue Drive near the Band Shell, just before the final Dixon Municipal Band concert of the season. 🎼

Come support these amazing young entrepreneurs!

The City of Dixon Illinois Government and Dixon Park District will also be providing Golf Cart Tours of Petunia Crossing and the new Page Park trails during this time.

Come spend a beautiful summer evening in Dixon! 🎶

Please note that a few Jr. Market vendors who are unable to attend Thursday will instead join a future Dixon City Market pop-up on Aug. 26 or Sept. 16.

Thank you for your understanding. Discover Dixon hopes to see everyone Thursday for a fun evening supporting young entrepreneurs and celebrating summer in Dixon! 🌅
