No Place Celebrates the Season like Prescott. It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Arizona’s Christmas City and your business can help support all the events. Every weekend from the end of November and through December there is holiday cheer happening in downtown Prescott. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Prescott comes alive with holiday events beginning with the Prescott Light parade and more than 30 festively illuminated floats around the Courthouse Plaza. Then Prescott celebrates with more than 200 entries of floats and bands in the annual Prescott Christmas parade and the day is completed with the Courthouse Lighting & Fireworks. Acker Musical Showcase brings music throughout the downtown and the ChristkindlMarket provides last minute shopping gifts and a little German cheer. The holidays wrap up with the popular New Year’s Eve Whiskey Row Boot Drop. Each event draws thousands and is offered for free to all who attend.

It is only through sponsorships that these events occur. There are several sponsorship packages available. All donations are tax deductible. Won’t you help continue to bring the magic of the season to Prescott? Contact Sheri Heiney Executive Director of the Prescott Chamber today at 928.445.2000 or email at sheri@prescott.org
