Soulful Sunset Singers Karaoke, Jan Alfano Trail parkrun, All Levels Yoga, and more.

- Discuss reconciliation strategies at Prescott Town Hall

🫶 We got your back
Pizza: Skip the takeout, because sometimes you need a slice that actually lives up to the hype. Check out these pizza spots in Prescott for pies so good you’ll be craving them again before the box is empty.
Wildlife: Arizona delivers a front-row seat to nature’s best at these wildlife viewing spots. If you’re looking for an escape from staring at a screen, it might be just what you need.
Organization: You spend a weekend lining up matching containers only to find chaos three weeks later. Try these sustainable organization tips that fit your messy, beautiful life and actually stick.
Florist: In need of a last-minute gift, a romantic gesture, or just some color in your life, Allan’s Flowers & More arranges petal-powered masterpieces that speak volumes without saying a word.
Family: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.

Whether you’re belting out classics or browsing local knickknacks, there’s something for kids, dogs, and tone-deaf rockstars alike.
💃 Brazilian Zouk Classes & Party | Friday (8/8) at 6:00pm – For the first time in Prescott, trade small talk for swaying hips, unpronounceable steps, and genuine Brazilian flair.

This weekend
🏃 Jan Alfano Trail parkrun @ Jan Alfano Trail | Saturday (8/9) at 7:30am – No timing chips, no pressure, just good vibes and a 5k along a scenic trail. Whether you’re sprinting, strolling, or jogging with a coffee goal in mind, this weekly event welcomes all. Bonus points if you make it to Method Coffee after.
🧘♂️ All Levels Yoga @ J Club at Jasper | Saturday (8/9) at 8:00am – Whether you’re a total newbie or can flow blindfolded, this class meets you where you are. Expect stretchy goodness, chill breathing exercises, and just enough core work to feel smug at brunch. Inner peace sold separately—but highly probable.
🎶 Fish Out of Water – Live in Prescott, AZ @ LazyG Brewhouse | Saturday (8/9) at 12 pm – Rock, funk, reggae, and good beer—this acoustic duo isn’t just dipping a toe, they’re diving into LazyG with a midday jam session. It’s part of their Fish Tales Tour, so catch ’em while you can.
🏎️ Dyno Night Aug 9th 2025 @ High Country Performance | Saturday (8/9) at 4:00pm – Put the Sunday drive on pause and head out for Dyno Night, where your ride meets its moment on the roller.

🎸 Bob Shimizu | Sunday (8/10) at 12 pm – Sip something cold and settle in for smooth Sunday jazz with Bob Shimizu, whose guitar chops have graced the pages of Downbeat and Jazz Times. He’s bringing cool tones and laid-back vibes to LazyG Brewhouse’s park-like patio.

📖 The Legacy of Legacy: A Lost Prescott Movie | Tuesday (8/12) at 4:30pm – Catch a long-lost 1963 indie film shot right in Prescott, complete with JFK-assassination riffs, and delightfully dated racial references. Sharlot Hall’s patio pours the pre-show wine, then a panel of local film buffs dishes on the once-forgotten trilogy, no refunds if you miss it.
🎯 Bingo @ Prescott Valley Active Adult Center | Tuesday (8/12) at 1:30pm – Stamp your way to glory with an afternoon of classic BINGO action. It’s $20 for a game pack, zero to get in, and fully worth it if you’re feeling lucky. Eyes down, dabbers up.

Formerly the crown jewel of a luxury builder’s model lineup, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath stunner in The Dells at Prescott Lakes still shows off its best angles. The three-way split floor plan means everyone gets their own hideout, from a primary suite with a snail-style walk-in shower and frosted glass pocket doors to a guest wing that doubles as an office or entertainment zone. Every bath flaunts custom tile, and all bedrooms got a plush carpet upgrade in June 2025.
The open kitchen and living area keep the party flowing, while the formal dining room dials up the charm for special occasions. Out back, a remotely powered patio screen keeps the sun at bay, and the oversized garage is ready for golf carts, crafts, or a full-blown workshop. Set in a gated community with a grass park and gazebo, this spot comes with access to pools, tennis, pickleball, and a clubhouse with sweeping views.
