Thousands gather for Prescott Christmas Parade


Home Depot was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2008 Prescott Christmas Parade.
An estimated crowd of 10,000 flocked to the Courthouse Square on Saturday to enjoy Prescott's 26th annual Christmas Parade.

While parking was hard to come by, beautiful weather favored the event whose theme was "Home for Christmas," with Operation Iraqi Freedom Veterans as Grand Marshals.

The parade route started at Murphy's Restaurant, traveling south down Cortez to circle the square before heading North to disband at Montezuma and Sheldon. Over one hundred entries included five marching bands and dozens of beautifully restored classic cars as well as some surprises. The Grinch imprisoned in a paddy-wagon and Shriners riding in miniature cars were certainly crowd pleasers.
