Sales Tax:
Each vendor is responsible for collecting Mississippi State Sales tax (7%) as required by law. We will provide the tax envelopes and sales tax will be collected 30 minutes before the show is over. Sales tax has to be turned in so that DeSoto County receives the credit for the Silo Square Arts Festival permit.

In 2024, we had over 60 vendors and hundreds in attendance. With the help of vendors, the community, and sponsor, we raised $6,000 for the children of Palmer Home.
