Prescott, Arizona, and the Tri-City areas have long been celebrated as gems in the Grand Canyon State. Known as one of the top five Western towns in the United States, Prescott brims with rich history and an irresistible Old West charm. But as the year winds down and the holidays roll in, Prescott transforms into something even more magical—Arizona’s very own Christmas City.
In 1989, then-Governor Rose Mofford bestowed Prescott with the official title of “Arizona’s Christmas City,” a nod to the town’s dazzling holiday spirit and its festive community events. Every year from November through January, Prescott pulls out all the stops, inviting residents and visitors alike to revel in its twinkling lights, joyous music, and a smorgasbord of holiday events that will have you singing “fa-la-la” all the way home.
Holiday Festivities You Won’t Want to Miss:
• The Lighting Ceremony: This annual tradition is the grand kickoff to Prescott’s holiday season. The Courthouse Plaza, surrounded by historic buildings, becomes a luminous wonderland as thousands of lights are illuminated, drawing gasps and applause from the crowd.
• The Christmas Parade of Lights: Think of it as a magical procession where marching bands, floats, and even local celebrities come together under a glow of thousands of holiday lights.
• Arizona’s Largest Gingerbread Village: This isn’t your average gingerbread house. It’s an entire village made of sugar and spice! Marvel at the intricate details and imagine the work that goes into crafting this sweet spectacle.
• The Christmas Village and Christmas Kind Market: This bustling holiday bazaar is perfect for picking up unique gifts, sipping on warm cider, and soaking in the joyful atmosphere.
Prescott’s dedication to holiday spirit is infectious. As the crisp winter air rolls in, the town becomes a haven for festive seekers, ready to shop, dine, and create lasting memories.
