 WINDOW ON DIXON Dixon is more than just a town on busy Interstate 80. Within San Francisco Bay Area’s Solano County and only 22 miles from Sacramento, Dixon offers fine restaurants, motels and family fun! Our historic town center and May Fair complex are reflective of a 19th century rail-stop, agricultural center, and early 20th century “Lincoln Highway” crossroads community. The Dixon May Fair Parade is the oldest parade in the state of California and we just celebrated our 131st year! The same goes for the Dixon May Fair – which is the oldest fair in the state of California. Each year a different theme is decided upon and the parade and fair seem to get bigger and better each year! This year, the parade had over 150 entries and over 350,000 spectators! |

 The
Chamber is very excited about the possibility of Dixon being
home to Dixon Downs, a world-class state of the art
racetrack and entertainment center located within the city
limits along Interstate 80. The first phase of this proposed
project will involve the construction of a 100-foot wide
1-1/8 mile dirt track and a 180–foot wide turf track. The
proposed multi-purpose Finish Line Pavilion will accommodate
up to 6,000 race fans and offer dining and other amenities
for customers from Dixon and beyond. |
