Dwight is located in north central Illinois in northern
Livingston County along historic
Route 66 and SR 17. The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 4,505, an increase of 275 since 1990.
Festival-goers always enjoy the "Fine Arts and Antiques Festival" which is held on the second Saturday in June. In addition, the sights and smells of the "Dwight Harvest Days", held on the third weekend in September, is a highly anticipated "end-of-summer" respite.
