America’s Favorite Small Town: The National Honor has the City of Lodi Buzzing!! 👏

Lodi, Ca. – Residents, visitors, employees and businesses are over the moon that the City of Lodi has been recognized as America’s Favorite Small Town by Parade Magazine. Chosen from hundreds of submissions, advancing through a field of 40 finalists, and earning enough votes to reach the national Top 10, Lodi’s unique charm, strong sense of connection and vibrant community ultimately propelled it to the number one spot.

Mayor Ramón Yepez celebrates the honor:

“I’m thrilled for Lodi and proud to see our community receive this recognition. Lodi’s geography, industry, culture and history have helped shape the city we know and love today. Everything people see and experience here can be traced back to generations of residents who cared deeply about this community and helped make it what it is.

Lodi continues to build on its stand-out reputation for an exceptional quality of life, one-of-a-kind visitor experiences, and thoughtful growth. I hope everyone has the opportunity to visit Lodi at least once and discover what makes our city so special.”

Prior to this recognition, the City announced its expanded festivities for its 4th of July at the Lake event to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday. Now, being named America’s Favorite Small Town is the cherry on top.
