DIXON – One of Dixon’s favorite neighborhood traditions is back! The third annual Dement Town Music Festival hits Depot Avenue on Saturday, Sept. 6, with a full day of live music, food, art, and community connection.
This event has allowed Discover Dixon to shine a light on a neighborhood that’s doing such great things. It’s safe to say this event already holds a special place in the hearts of many, not just for those in that neighborhood, but the entire community.
Come see what it’s all about this year! Gates open at 2 p.m., the music kicks off at 3, and it won’t stop until 10.
Advance tickets are $15 and available online until noon on Saturday, Sept. 6. After that, it’s $20 cash at the gate (ATM available).
This is a fun, all-ages event – and kids 5 and under get in free. Feel free to bring your own lawn chairs, but outside food, drinks, or coolers are not allowed. There will be plenty to eat and drink from local vendors and Dement Town businesses, including Mary’s Diner, Lil’ Smoked Bar + Grill, Dement Town Tavern, and PJ’s Pub.
This year’s lineup:
- On the Rocks – Southern rock, blues, and a little outlaw country attitude
- Desirée & The Wilde – Dixon’s own country band with Nashville roots and a crowd-ready sound
