🍂 Thank you to everyone who braved the chilly temps and overcast skies for the final Pop-Up Dixon City Market in September, including two young entrepreneurs! 🙌

🌦️ It was a tough year for weather, but our community rolled with it and continued to show up and support local!

Discover Dixon looks forward to making Dixon City Market even bigger and better next year! ❤️

🎉 A big congratulations to the Dixon City Market Jr. award winners!

🌟 Smart Start-Up Award: Amelia Heitz
🎨 Marketing Master Award: Ashur Hicks
🏆 All-Star Entrepreneur Award: Avery Gonzalez

Discover Dixon is so proud of these young entrepreneurs and EVERY kid who participated in Dixon City Market Jr.! They put their creativity to work, developed their own ideas and got some firsthand experience running a business. 👏

And what a community we have! 💙 When the weather forced the team to pivot from the original plans, the participants rolled with it, and the community showed up to support them. Thank you to everyone who came out, shopped with our young vendors and helped make the experience such a positive one!

The future of local business is looking pretty bright! ✨

Unfortunate, but in the best interest of the City Market Jr. kiddos! Join Discover Dixon on Thursday at the Band Shell! 👋

🚨 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! 🌅
