Today, the Chamber is active and providing leadership in many community events, while maintaining its interest in helping businesses succeed.

With over 1,000 Chamber members strong and growing, the Prescott Chamber is ranked No. 9 in the state. The Chamber is a significant asset to the community, offering a wealth of programs and events for the entire community to enjoy and appreciate. The Chamber also runs a comprehensive state designated Visitor Information Center with information about Prescott and the surrounding communities. Over 30,000 come through our front doors annually looking for information about the area, Chamber members and information about other cities around the state.

Thank you for your interest in the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, we are here to serve you. Please feel free to contact us or stop by anytime in “Everybody’s Hometown.”

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?
