Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, so the weekend of Friday, Oct. 30, through Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026 is a full one across Prescott and the Quad Cities. These are the things to do in Prescott this weekend that are listed on the Bridge News Community Calendar, sorted by day and checked against the organizers’ own listings. Every pick links to its calendar listing, so you can see the address, times and a map before you head out.

Tips for the weekend
- No clock change here. Most of the country falls back on Sunday, Nov. 1, but Arizona doesn’t observe daylight saving time, so Prescott clocks stay put. Double-check any livestream or out-of-state call times.
- Check before you go. Small venues sometimes swap acts on short notice. Each calendar listing links to the organizer’s page.
- Next weekend, the market starts later. From Nov. 7, the Prescott Farmers Market opens at 9:30 a.m.
- Looking ahead? Our Things To Do Prescott hub collects seasonal guides, and the Veterans Day 2026 Prescott events guide covers Nov. 11.
