If you're planning to attend the "World's Oldest Rodeo" in Prescott, AZ, consider this your…read morewarning: this event is run like a tourist trap, not a tradition. When you Google exactly "World's Oldest Rodeo Prescott AZ tickets," their official website is nowhere near the top. Instead, you're led to multiple third-party ticketing sites--some of which are even advertised ahead of their own. Like many, I bought tickets through StubHub, assuming any legitimate event would honor them. Wrong. We drove in with the family, paid for parking, and showed up with digital tickets in hand--only to be denied entry at the gate. The staff told us flatly, "We don't allow third-party ticket sales, so we canceled these tickets." Here's where it gets even more insulting: I asked to simply purchase the same seats at their box office. The woman replied, "Those seats are not available." So let's recap: * They allow tickets to be sold on third-party platforms * They cancel those tickets without notifying buyers * They resell the same seats after voiding the originals That's not just poor customer service--it's dishonest. This rodeo might be the oldest, but their ticketing practices are the most outdated and exploitative I've ever seen. Families travel in for this event, spend money on parking, food, and lodging--only to be shut out because of a system that seems designed to take your money twice. Shame on the organizers for hiding behind tradition while running a backdoor scam. Honor your legacy and get your act together. Until then, skip this event and support rodeos that actually respect their guests.

I enjoyed my visit to the fair this year, it was a little confusing at first to enter way around…read morethe other side of the rodeo arena, but once you for around to what I would dub *the middle of the fairgrounds* you were where all the action was located. They had vendors all up in the shade at the top of the stands. And they were lined up so you could go look around comfortably. The rides were on the far side of the grounds. The food vendors were somewhere in between. That's not a negative comment, please don't take it that way, we just visited the first time and it took a little getting used to, but we figured it out. We just arrived too early, so we felt like we were intruding at first LOL There was a line from about noon to the evening concerts, so come a tad early if you want to avoid all those people. Oh and follow the signs to park, not your GPS. Ugh. Our GPS sent us down alleys!! We got there though and it was a great visit and great fair.

We have 3!! They gave out Easter baskets, Easter grass, plastic Easter bags. I mean the big bags of 100 and some with 50, 40, or 20 and 12. They passed out beauty organizers, and lots of huge bags of M&M's and Jolly Rancher Gummies. My bag is almost gone already. Some cute Easter items to fill the baskets, it was fantastic! Then we came to the dog section!!! My oh my, did my puppies luck out!!! Tons and tons of treats......and the cutest Disney doggy food/water ceramic dish!! It was a really good haul!! Thank you Real Hope Inc, for making it possible!!!

Exits were blocked off or roped off by a chain. Individuals "directing" traffic were inconsistent and would let one line of cars go through while holding back another line.

Such a wonderful event to have for free, don't know where else you could see music of this caliber in a large, comfy outdoor venue for no price, Ticketmaster must hate this, lol! If you have any interest in Bluegrass, I highly recommend attending this festival if it can fit in your schedule.

( There are plenty others to watch getting crazy.) Between the Rodeo itself and the Whiskey row you will have a fun time especially if you are single, but it is still a fun time with a date or significant other especially if you like to dance. Great place to meet someone and I don't mean Hook-up. If you are older or younger than the ages listed above you will still have a good time at an old fashioned community event like the Prescott Rodeo!

However, we were not impressed with the show and it's participants. We were lucky to even see a participant earn a score in any category. If this is what they're investing their time and money into as their sport, these athletes should have displayed more talent and skill. I dunno, maybe we were there in a bad time/for a bad show... but even the commentator remarked a few times during our day there that many were "having bad luck".

We were passing the Museum of Indigenous People by while on a recent visit to Prescott and seeing…read morethis out of the corner of our eye, decided to stop, and we were glad we did. And boy, were we excited having discovered it. The museum and its property are very nondescript, and that is a shame. It seems to be an underrated museum which should get more exposure and traffic than it apparently does. As their mission states: "To instill understanding and respect for the indigenous cultures of the southwest." And they do it extremely well. Within the unique stone building and confines of the relatively moderate size museum space are an incredible array of objects, relics, Nik-Naks, gifts, paraphernalia, and artifacts to peruse and learn the while away. Kudos to the staff and volunteers that do an excellent job of teaching those who stop in about this incredible culture.

This is the 10th year for this festival and boy, what a fun time! This is the fourth time I've come from the very first one which was small, to the last one five years ago! This was the first one my fiancé went to and we had a blast! From art, to a car show, to music and wine, it was a great time! So many unique and antique collectibles at the car show! Some great bands, including the Mingus Union high school band which really got the crowd riled up! Lots of cool vendors and also some great nonprofits like Pets Return Home, LocalFirstAZ and Friends of the Verde River had booths at the event. The wine tasting was $15 which included a commemorative glass and six tastings, but the rest of the event is free! All of the great restaurants and stores were also open on Main Street! That was a treat for me as many times, when I am in town for business, it's on a Monday or Tuesday and many are not open. The event takes place from 11 AM to 5 PM and if you want to find a parking, plan to come early or expect to hoof it a bit! Typically the festival happens on a Saturday in early November. I know we're looking forward to next year!
