The second annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta will be held on Saturday, May 3 from 12 p.m. – 9 p.m. in downtown Dixon. During the celebration, First Street will be closed between Galena Ave. and Hennepin Ave. After a very successful first year in 2007, Salamandra Restaurant agreed to help continue the tradition for the city of Dixon by helping to present the fiesta again in 2008 with co-sponsor Dixon Main Street.
“Dixon Main Street is excited to co-sponsor the Second Annual Cinco de Mayo celebration again this year with Salamandra,” Executive Director Josh Albrecht said. “Last year was a huge success, and it is great for our community to celebrate the cultural diversity of our city.”
This year’s event features plenty of entertainment, including Mariachi Juvenil San Francisco, Ballet Folkloric Imagen Mexicana and Ballet Folkloric Ay! Jalisco. There also will be piñatas and games for kids.
And to top it off, a variety of Mexican food will be featured, including 20 different salsas created by salsa master and Salamandra owner Juana Ayala. An outdoor beer garden will be featured, along with a variety of specialty margaritas.

Home Show this weekend
Dixon Main Street will host its 2008 House and Home Show from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on April 18 and April 19 at Kitzman’s Lumber, 411 W. 1st Street, Dixon. The event is sponsored by Kitzman’s Lumber, Sherwin-Williams and Hvarre Painting. The event is free and open to the public.
“This event is perfect for Main Street because there is nothing like it in Dixon,” Mitch Tucker, Sherwin Williams Market Manager and Main Street Board Member, said. “Plus, many people don’t realize how many businesses in the downtown provide services for home owners.”
The two-day event will feature booths by area painters, contractors, businesses, realtors, landscapers and other service professionals. The community will get the chance to learn more about the services and products these professionals provide.
“This is the first time that Dixon Main Street has held an event like this, and we couldn’t be more excited,” Josh Albrecht, Dixon Main Street executive director, said. “There is no better time to hold a House and Home Show than in the early spring as people begin to work in their gardens and plan for home improvement projects.”
