Our Town Cicero Main Street Association

Our Town Cicero is a community organization dedicated to strengthening the vibrancy of Cicero by promoting local businesses & partnerships so all may visit, eat, play & live.

Our Town Cicero (OTC) was organized in September of 2015, and is working to bring members of the Cicero community together.

That effort includes the publication of a monthly newsletter outlining activities, spotlighting businesses, highlighting weather information, and featuring helpful hints from health professionals, and the police, fire, and parks departments. It also includes information of local interest, a column devoted to the American Legion, recipes, and activities for our kids. OTC is fortunate to have the support of local businesses who advertise in the publication to help defray the cost of publishing this free monthly newsletter.

The Taste of Chocolate is held in February at 10 West in Downtown Cicero.

OTC’s signature event, Dine on the Causeway, takes place in September each year.

In October, OTC sponsors the Fall Festival and Costume Parade held the 3rd Saturday in October each year.

OTC concludes the calendar year with a Christmas Tree Lighting Festival on the first Saturday in December, with a Santa House, festival and Christmas Tree lighting.

Thank you to our board members, volunteers and sponsors who help make these events possible for our community!



Thank You to our Volunteers and Community Sponsors

Each of the OTC activities is made possible by the dedication and hard work on the part of volunteers and sponsors in the Cicero community. Events like the Taste of Chocolate, the Murder Mystery Dinner, and Dine on the Causeway necessitate charging admission for those who attend, but any monies raised by these events are used to defray the costs incurred for those activities, the publication of the newsletter, and to make it possible to open the Fall Festival and Tree Lighting Festival to the public free of charge.
