Why DeSoto Events?

Imagine scrolling social media and seeing friends raving about the 45th Southaven Springfest barbecue championship – the one with endless ribs, live music, and carnival vibes – but you missed it because it slipped through the cracks of your busy life. Or hearing about the Mudbug Bash crawfish boil after the crawfish are gone. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Busy DeSoto folks waste hours hunting event updates across VisitDeSotoCounty.com, AmericanTowns, and scattered Facebook groups, only to drown in generic spam that doesn't match what you actually care about.
