Prescott Frontier Days , Inc . is pleased to present the 130th annual World ’ s Oldest Rodeo ® in Prescott , Arizona . Independence Day and the Fourth of July week in Prescott is traditionally the busiest time of year that generates economic benefits for the entire region .

With world-class rodeo and family-friendly events occurring for almost seven straight days , the World ’ s Oldest Rodeo ® is truly Prescott ’ s most anticipated event of the year . People come from all over the world to visit Prescott during Prescott Frontier Days and to be a part of rich-western culture and history that stems back to July 4 , 1888 .
This year , to honor the many legends who have been a part of our historic rodeo for the past 130 years , Prescott Frontier Days , Inc . is solely using images in advertising and promotions for the World ’ s Oldest Rodeo of past rodeo champions who have called Prescott home or became rodeo champions at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds . With the significant milestone of 130 years , it is only appropriate to honor legends who live among us ( now or in the past ).
“ It is truly an honor to have the tremendous pool of professional rodeo talent in our arena , year after year . It is exciting to honor the Legends Who Live Among Us this year ,” said J . C . Trujillo , general manager of Prescott Frontier Days ®, Inc .
The theme for the annual rodeo parade is Legends Live Among Us and will be held on Saturday , July 1 at 9 a . m . in downtown Prescott . Sponsored by Barrett Propane .
To kick off the parade in the proper way , Prescott Frontier Days , Inc . will be presenting the parade grand marshal with a rodeo legend Monty Henson ( a . k . a . Hawkeye Henson ) a three-time Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association ( PRCA ) world-champion saddle bronc rider .
Known for his flying dismount and infamous eagle feather in his hat , Hawkeye ’ s rodeo career was impressive to say the least … he won three world titles in 1975 , 1976 and 1982 and place or won almost every major rodeo in the country . Inducted in the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1994 .
With record attendance and sponsors at an alltime high , this year will be no exception of another successful week of world-class rodeo with family activities celebrating western history that makes Prescott shine .
The annual rodeo dance will be held in downtown Prescott at the BMO Harris bank parking lot on the corner of Sheldon and Montezuma . The dance will begin on Thursday , June 28 through Saturday , July 1 . Thursday night is family night so bring your entire family to kick up your heels !
