Can something be cute, cool, and classic all at the same time? 😎 Because the 2024 banners, with their vintage-styled postage stamp theme are a vibe. 😍✨🌸

This year's design highlights aspects of Dixon that make it the city we all know and love. 💯 And they're really going to pop next to the petunia baskets!

Discover Dixon's Downtown Banner Program gives businesses, organizations and families the opportunity to participate in the beautification of downtown Dixon. 🌠 Each banner features a company logo or name of the business or family, and hang for one year. 🌟
