Ready To Grill and Chill, Dixon?
Here's what's on tap for this Saturday in downtown Dixon!

News from Dixon’s Grillin’ & Chillin’:
Looking for a great time? Then come and enjoy the family- friendly event at Dixon’s Grillin’ & Chillin’ Car & Truck Show 6, this Saturday, July 18, an old-fashioned street fair on Highway 113 in Downtown Dixon.
This year’s event will feature 250+ classic cars and trucks. The Terry Sheets Band, a rockin’ country-dance band, along with other performers, will provide entertainment throughout the day.
Chili cook-off contestants will be serving up their own “secret recipe” chili to the public from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm, or until they run out! YOU, the public will vote on the best chili. Professional and guest judges will judge the pork rib cook-off. YES, there will be plenty of finger-licking BBQ pork ribs being sold by food vendors. Many unique craft vendors will be at this year’s event, as well as the Kids Park’s water slides, bounce houses along with many other activities that are planned.
All proceeds from this event are given to charity organizations in Dixon and surrounding communities who are in need.
