BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Earlier this year, Visit Lodi led a community-wide campaign encouraging residents, businesses, hospitality partners, and visitors to participate in a national voting contest recognizing outstanding small towns across the country. Through coordinated outreach and broad community engagement, Lodi residents and supporters rallied together to vote daily and promote the campaign.
As a result of this collective effort, Lodi was named America's Favorite Small Town by Parade and Steller. This national recognition highlights the city's strong community spirit and collaborative partnerships while increasing Lodi's visibility as a destination for tourism and economic development.
The City of Lodi recognizes and appreciates Visit Lodi's leadership, dedication, and coordination of this successful campaign, as well as the many residents, businesses, and community partners whose participation helped achieve this prestigious honor.
