Prescott Frontier Days mean fireworks, barbecues, and the world’s oldest Rodeo. All of these are part of Prescott’s historic celebratory 4th of July traditions. The rodeo is rooted in history here, with the first one being held in 1888. Prepare to be entertained and thrilled with wild horse racing, steer wrestling, bareback riding, and barrel racing, just to name a few. The Rodeo gates open on June 28th at 7:30pm and runs through July 4th, with July 4th honoring our military as “The Tribute to Armed Forces” night!
The Rodeo parade theme this year, is celebrating 50 years of Junior Bonner, which was a 1972 classic western film featuring Steve McQueen filmed in the Prescott area at the rodeo fairgrounds. Grand Marshall for this parade is Steve McQueen’s grandson, Chase McQueen. Come on down and help celebrate the rich western history of Prescott.
