5 days of Petunia fun

Bring the family to this year's Dixon Petunia Festival, running June 30 through July 4. There are many family-friendly events throughout the downtown/riverfront area. The carnival takes place west of the Peoria Ave. bridge, in the high school area.

Live Music and Art

The Dixon Riverfront hosts multiple bands on multiple evenings. On July 1, the Dixon Municipal band performs patriotic songs on the Old Lee County Courthouse lawn. Before that performance, there will be an old-fashioned ice cream social at the same location. On Sat., July 2, the "Nuts About Art" outdoor art show takes place at John Dixon Park, located at 515 N. Galena Ave.
