Dixon Lambtown, USA Festival

The Dixon Lambtown, USA Committee has planned another great Lambtown Festival for your family this year. You will find craft and fiber booths, competitions, and as always, a variety of great food celebrating the lamb industry and the rich agricultural heritage of the region. This year's live entertainment will feature great bands and dance routines.

Come and enjoy tasty lamb dishes from our food vendors, and learn to cook lamb at the cooking demonstrations! Watch as sheep shearers remove the entire fleece from lambs in less than a minute at the shearing demonstration. Browse over 100 craft and fiber booths, fine arts show and sale, and merchants who offer special Lambtown products. Visit the wool, mohair and alpaca fleece show and sale, skeins and garments competition and 20 different classes and watch the spinning competitions. See how fleeces are judged for quality, how wool straight from the sheep can be spun and woven into a shawl in only 4 hours!

Take a class and learn how to spin, dye wool, knit, or how to select a fleece for your next project (a small materials fee and advanced registration are needed for most classes). Enjoy the live entertainment from our centrally located stage area, where you can hear music from the many cultures who have contributed to the lamb and wool industries in the region.

Parking is limited within a short walking distance for free. Or you can park across the street in the Fairgrounds parking lot for $5 all day! Abundant parking is available within a short walk and other nearby areas.
