Prescott Frontier Days®
Prescott, Arizona
Not exactly close to home but this historic event is worth the drive. And with an average July high of only 85 degrees, it’s a nice way to cool off for the holiday.
On July 4, 1888, locals in Prescott organized the first official “cowboy tournament” and the rodeo was born. Today, the week-long Frontier Days celebration still hosts the World’s Oldest Rodeo® along with an arts and crafts show, two dances, parades, mutton busting and more.
