What's happening in Dixon?

Dixon is a wonderful small town located in Solano County close to larger cities such as Sacramento and San Francisco.  It also borders the college town of Davis which offers large commercial shopping opportunities, amazing restaurant selections and beautiful parks.

Every Saturday from 9am-1pm enjoy fresh produce and other food & craft items at the certified Farmer’s Market through the Solano County Ag Department.  The farmer's market is located at Women's Improvement Club Park on the corners of C & North 1st Streets. 

At the same time as the farmers market, take an opportunity to check out the Dixon Used Book Store which is right next to the park and library.  They have amazing deals on used books for everyone.  We have purchased many children's books for my 2 year old and they are only a dime a piece. 


August 27th is the Downtown Dixon Business Associations 9th Annual Wine & Art Stroll.  The event will start in the Women's Improvement Club Park this year and continue throughout the downtown core along North First Street and including businesses on A, B, and Jackson Street. Tickets are available through the DDBA website DowntownDixon or they can be purchased at Saturday's Farmer's Markets for $20. They will cost $25 on the day of the event. Cost is for the commemorative wine glass and a map of where the various participating wineries are pouring. Live music will be at North First and A Street throughout the evening. Adults only please.


Looking for something to do with your little ones?  Stop by the Dixon Library for preschool storytime & crafts.  Every other Wednesday at 10:00am through October.  The next session will be August 24th and you must register for the craft portion.  Contact Katrina Bergen at 707-693-2747 with questions.


Dixon has so much to offer with that small town atmosphere so many of us enjoy and feel priviledged to call home.  If you are considering buying a home in Dixon, please visit my website SolanoMoves.com today.  I also assist home buyers & sellers in Solano & Yolo counties as well as some areas of Napa & Sacramento counties.
