The Courthouse Plaza, located in the center of the downtown. It's the focal point for most activities, including crafts fairs, antique shows, art shows and band concerts. The Historic Yavapai County Courthouse is really the jewel of Prescott. Every year, thousands gather there for the Christmas Lighting Ceremony held on the first Saturday of December. It's also the center piece for the annual Christmas Parade, The Christmas Electric Light Parade and of course, the 4th of July Parade.
