Arts & Entertainment

Looking for a little culture or just some old-fashioned family entertainment? DeSoto has it all. The city hosts a number of events and festivals throughout the year to provide residents something to do without a long drive. Activities include something for everyone—from dances to fishing tournaments to concerts.

DeSoto also promotes hometown spirit and involvement with its annual festivals. These events give residents a chance to mingle with their neighbors while having a great time in their own community.

Held in June, Juneteenth kicks off the summer with arts and crafts, children’s activities, entertainment and food.

Starting in July and continuing through the summer, free concerts will be held at local parks, and residents are invited to bring their picnic baskets and lawn chairs to enjoy these concerts.

The Fabulous Fourth Fireworks Celebration is hosted by DeSoto and Lancaster in alternating years, allowing visitors to celebrate the nation’s independence with live music and a spectacular fireworks show.

The Easter Bunny visits DeSoto every spring for the Annual Easter Eggstravanganza, while Santa Claus makes time in December to attend the HomeTown Holiday and Parade of Lights festivities.

When it’s time to take a break and experience a little culture, the Corner Theatre in DeSoto Town Center is the place to go. A state-of-the-art performance facility, the Corner Theatre features a 185-seat auditorium with full lighting and sound capabilities. The venue hosts plays, murder mystery dinners and a variety of other performances throughout the year. Every April, the Corner Theatre hosts the DeSoto Star Search, where DeSoto’s finest talent competes for various prizes and chances to perform at city events. The Corner Theatre is also available for rental by citizens, businesses and community groups. The Corner Theatre offers a large projection screen for corporate conferences as well.
