DESOTO, Texas — The City of DeSoto and DeSoto Parks & Recreation announced Friday they are canceling the city’s holiday parade and postponing the tree lighting ceremony this weekend.
City officials said the success of the DeSoto Eagles football team, who will be taking on Denton Guyer in the 6A Division II semifinals Saturday and possible rain showers have prompted the change.

All previously planned indoor events that are part of the city ‘Hometown Holiday Celebration’ will be held as scheduled. Those events will take place at the DeSoto Recreation Center and the DeSoto Library as seen below:
