Summer Syllabus: De Soto Events, Rooted in Community

Your De Soto Summer Syllabus just dropped. From pool parties to fireworks, we’re sharing what to expect, what to bring, and some behind-the-scenes context on what it takes to bring these community events to life!   Plus, a look at some hometown favorites on the 2025 lineup: Rhythm & Roots (Downtown AND Riverfest!) Movies in the Park State of the City Touch-A-Truck Miller Park games Pool parties at the DAC LearNature Camp De Soto Days   It takes a village (and some great partnerships) to pull off a summer like this. Big thanks to the partners behind these events—and to everyone who plays a part in building up our community year-round.   Want to stay in the loop?
