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.
