Fourth of July in Prescott
In our historic town, Fourth of July means cowboys. The World's Oldest Rodeo, a tradition since 1888 and the area's biggest annual event, runs June 29 through July 4 at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds and includes bull riding, roping, steer wrestling and other feats of derring-do.
During the weekend, you'll find plenty of other reasons to keep wearing your cowboy boots, including rodeo dances, the coronation of the rodeo queen and even "cowboy church," a non-denominational service.
