For 33 years, the Prescott Park Arts Festival has successfully presented the arts to over 3 million people in more than 9,000 productions with no fixed admission. (Although we do ask a $5 per person donation to help defray the costs of bringing you this great entertainment!) Because of this policy, many people have their first experience with a live performance at Prescott Park.
