Prescott was named “Arizona’s Christmas City” in 1989 by the late Gov. Rose Mofford. Now Prescott is acknowledged nationally as “deserving that reputation — a festive place to be during the holidays.”
Area festivities began in late November with the Valley of the Lights Drive-Thru in Prescott Valley’s Fain Park (continues through Dec. 30); the 29th annual Gingerbread Village at the Prescott Resort (viewing through Jan. 1); and Heritage Park Zoo’s Wildlights and Animal Sights (on tap through Jan. 1).
