Prescott, Arizona’s Christmas City
In 1989, then Governor, Rose Mofford, designated Prescott as Arizona’s Christmas City because of our festive lighting ceremony, But, the festivities don’t begin and end with just one event. Prescott celebrates with lights, music, and festive flair from November-January. The 69th annual lighting of the tree and courthouse square this year is on December 2nd from 5 to 7. If you would like to go make sure to go early and it draws a huge crowd and parking is at a premium. The Christmas parade is from 1-3 on December 2nd as well
