Dixon Venetian Night
Sat, Aug 09 , 2025 • 5:00pm - 9:00pm
219 W River St, Dixon, IL 61021
One of Dixon’s most dazzling summer traditions is back—and this year it’s going sky-high.
Venetian Night transforms the Dixon Riverfront into a vibrant, European-inspired celebration with street performers, mini boat races, a glow stick party, and even a spaghetti-eating contest. Magicians and face painters will keep the kids entertained, while food and drink vendors will cater to everyone's needs.
Stick around for the grand finale: the area’s first-ever drone light show lighting up the night sky!
This family-friendly evening is full of surprises, good vibes, and that classic Dixon charm.
