Prescott in October is what Halloween towns wish they were: a real territorial capital with a saloon row that burned, rebuilt and never emptied out. Our Prescott Ghost Tour runs nightly at 7 PM from Courthouse Plaza, the ghost tour that walks every night of the week, covering haunted Whiskey Row, the Palace Saloon and the hotels that keep their guests. October dates fill first; Friday and Saturday go fastest.
The Whiskey Row Halloween evening
Take the 7 PM tour, then walk back up the Row for a drink at the Palace, standing at the bar the patrons carried out of the 1900 fire. The Hassayampa Inn, Hotel Vendome and Hotel St. Michael all pour or host within two blocks, and all three come with stories your guide will have just told you.
Questions people ask
What is there to do in Prescott for Halloween?
Walk the nightly ghost tour from Courthouse Plaza at 7 PM, then finish the night on Whiskey Row: the Palace Saloon and the historic hotels around the Row are the after-party Halloween towns dream about. Downtown Prescott also costumes up for family trick-or-treating around the Plaza in late October.
Does the Prescott ghost tour run every night in October?
Yes, nightly at 7 PM all month, weather and all. We are the ghost tour with departures every night of the week; book ahead for Halloween week and weekends.
How cold is Prescott at night in October?
Expect crisp: Prescott sits above 5,000 feet and October evenings often land in the 40s. A jacket and closed shoes make the mile-long walk comfortable.
