11th Annual Boot Drop to Ring in 2022

​

After hosting a virtual event last year because of COVID-19, the planners of this year’s Whiskey Row New Year’s Eve Boot Drop are ready to help folks mark the end of the year in a big way and in person.

Attendees can say goodbye to 2021 on Friday, Dec. 31 from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Montezuma Street in downtown Prescott. The event, which will feature “boot drops” at 10 p.m. and midnight, the celebration is free to all ages and event promoters encourage safe celebrating at this outdoor event.

​

“We’re thrilled to have the event back this year. It’s time to celebrate, and we’ll be providing a fun, yet safe outdoor event,” says Matt Brassard, co-owner of M & M Entertainment & Production. “This is a favorite holiday event in Arizona’s Christmas City, and we’re proud to help close out all the festive activities that take place here in Prescott.”

​

The 6-foot illuminated cowboy boot will be lowered from a 40-foot flagpole, with fireworks lighting up the night sky. The 10 p.m. drop occurs at the same time as New York City’s traditional “ball drop.”

​

Entertainment will be provided by Llory McDonald & Combo Deluxe, spinning tunes so people can dance on the street, and hosted by Leza Live and Local from Magic 99.1 FM. There will be food and drink from street vendors, carnival games and rides and prizes given away throughout the night. Planners encourage people to dress warm for this outdoor event.
