City/Town Information

The center of town. Arts and crafts and various fairs are frequently hosted here throughout the year. Kids love playing on the expansive lawn and throwing coins in the fountain. Live music and dancing in the summer. Winter events include the annual Christmas lights parade and New Year’s Eve “Boot Drop.” It's a working courthouse but can be entered and self-toured by the public. Worth a look inside as the building is quite historic.

A very small restaurant (approx. 8-10 tables) on a busy commercial street with fabulous locally sourced seasonally-inspired offerings. Nice selection of artisanal cocktails and wines as well. Extremely popular and absolutely worth a visit. This is more of an adult-oriented restaurant--would not appeal to most kids.

Many locals would say a trip to Prescott is not complete without a trip to Taco Don's. The only source you'll need for tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas burritos, horchata (if you haven't had it and you like sugary drinks you may want to try it) and more. Offers a drive-through as well as informal indoor seating. Inside, you will order at the counter.
