In 2018 Prescott Valley will celebrate its 40th anniversary of incorporation! A spectacular celebration is on tap at the Prescott Valley Civic Center.
Two days of events, Saturday and Sunday, August 25 and 26, will include Saturday stage entertainment by Eric Clapton, Journey, and Heart tribute bands, and other live music and performances; a huge car show on Saturday morning; inflatable fun from Hero Party Rentals both days; a Hollywood Squares-style show sponsored by the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce; and an Antique Road Show-style event, sponsored by the Prescott Valley Historical Society and so much more!
Saturday's lineup culminates with the largest fireworks show in Northern Arizona's history! (you can watch the show from Mountain Valley Park or pull up a chair and watch from the Civic Center!)
Each of the weekend’s two days of fun will include plenty of food vendors, with some gustatory delights supplied by area ethnic cooks. Visit the sponsor booths and peruse the arts & crafts exhibitors.
Sunday’s lineup will include a Cowboy Church service at the Theater on the Green, a toe-tapping Gospel choir showcase, a wedding vow renewal (and possibly a wedding or two!) presided over by the magistrate judge, and an Ice Cream Social on the grounds. Scandalous Hands Band performs at 4:00 pm and ABBAFAB performs at 6:30 pm at the Theater on the Green main stage.
Prescott Valley Florist is donating a bouquet for the brides and a boutonniere for the grooms, as well as a little something for those renewing their vows! To sign up or for more information, call Communications Coordinator Heidi Dahms Foster at 928-759-3123.
