Cycle Parade

The De Soto Chamber of Commerce and Get Healthy DeSoto welcome you to celebrate fall with us during the Fall Festival. Decorate your bike with a St. Louis Blues theme and pedal your way down Main Street! The event is FREE, and you’ll get a chance to win a prize for the best decorated bike. New this year: a prize for the adult with the best decorated bike!

The event will begin and end at the DeSoto Farmers’ Market on Saturday, September 21st. Children and youth can be fitted for a free helmet beginning at 8 AM at the market. Registration for the parade will begin around 9:30, with a safety clinic at 9:45. The parade will commence after the safety clinic, and participants will ride south on Main Street to roughly Clement Street before turning around and heading back. All ages are invited to participate, and all non-motorized vehicles are welcome too: wheelbarrows, bikes, strider bikes, etc.

You can complete the form and bring it with you to expedite registration.

Fall Festival 5K

On September 21 at 8 am, you can run the flattest race in Jefferson County! The Fall Festival 5K is a popular event because it is devoid of hills and offers runners who complete the course a rebate. The race starts and end at SMCI on Veterans Drive, across from Walther Park. You can contact the Chamber of Commerce office at 636-586-5591 for more information or click here for the registration form.

2017 Fall Festival 5K

De Soto’s Fall Festival will be September 16, 2017. As usual, there will be a 5K Run/Walk that morning at 8 AM. The entry fee is only $15 if you register before the event and $20 that day. It will start at SMCI and make a loop north around the De Soto Rural Fire Protection District house on Miller. The route does vary a bit, but the beauty of this race is that it is one of the few in Jefferson County that is almost flat! If you’re new to running or are just looking for an easy walk, this is the race for you.
