Our Event History

The Best Southwest area which includes DeSoto, Duncanville, Cedar Hill and Lancaster is so named because of the cities’ ability to work together on projects that benefit Southern Dallas County. On June 19, 2004, these cities cooperated once again on a history-making event by co-sponsoring a first-ever Best Southwest Juneteenth Celebration. The event rotates to each city every year.
