DeSoto County Will Host “Freedom Fest” On July 4th At The Turner Agri-Civic Center

DeSoto County will host a free all-day event for the community this Independence Day called Freedom Fest, held at the Turner Agri-Civic Center, 2250 NE Roan St, Arcadia.

On July 4, 2023, the gates open at 12 p.m. with the event continuing through the county’s annual fireworks show at 9 p.m. at the same location. The firework celebration is produced by Explosive Touch Enterprises, LLC.

Indoor and outdoor festivities are planned throughout the day, offering fun for the whole family – kids, toddlers and adults – thanks to Freedom Fest organizers like Wet & Wild Party Rentals.

Wet & Wild offers multiple entertainment options, such as bounce houses, water slides – and massive combinations of both – dunk tanks, a mechanical bull and much more. They also provide activities for smaller children and toddlers such as a trackless train.

Adding to the excitement, local radio host and promoter Mark Anderson from 104.5 “Mark in the Morning,” will bring in live music from regional country bands, as well as an independent professional wrestling show.

The DeSoto County Turner Agri-Civic Center offers 90 acres of opportunities to residents and guests. Facilities include a large, air-conditioned arena, exhibit hall, barns, paved parking, and helpful staff. Staff can be reached by calling 863-993-4807.
