Motorists should be aware of street closures and detour routes regarding the Prescott Frontier Days Parade on July 2, downtown.

Gurley will also be closed between Cortez and Montezuma. The detour route around downtown includes Mt. Vernon, Carleton and Aubrey.
Street closures begin at 5 a.m. on the staging area streets including Willis between Montezuma and Washington, and Cortez, Marina, Alarcon, Pleasant, Virginia and Washington between Willis and Sheldon. The parade route is expected to reopen around 2 p.m., once all parade units are out of the area, with the exception of Whiskey Row/Montezuma, which will remain closed and reopen approximately 4pm once the Boot Race has concluded.
Parking is expected to be at a premium downtown. Citizens are encouraged to use the City Parking Garage on Granite Street. Public parking is also available in the County parking ramps in the Union and Marina area.
