Prescott was labeled “Arizona’s Christmas City” in 1989 by then-Gov. Rose Mofford.
The city’s recognition as a Christmas hotspot dates well before that, however.
It all started in the mid-1950s with the traditional Courthouse Lighting, then grew in the early 1980s with the addition of the Christmas Parade, and later, with the popular Acker Musical Showcase.
