Cowboy Poets Gathering
Be sure to visit Prescott, Arizona for an annual tribute to the history of this fascinating town, the Cowboy Poets Gathering. It's not just about poetry but it's a celebration of the cowboys of an earlier era. Prescott offers a truly entertaining time with singers, storytellers and other performers.
Just ninety minutes north of Phoenix, you will find a small yet historic town, nestled in the hills of northern Arizona – Prescott. Surrounded with large forests of Ponderosa pine, this area claims some interesting patrons, including Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. And with the Cowboy Poets Gathering once a year, Prescott brings to life these men.
For three days, sometimes over 125 performers put forth some fabulous storytelling, songs and poetry of the old Arizona working cowboys. Every year, in August, many come to enjoy this gathering occurring at the Sharlot Hall Museum.
All things Western are honored at this Cowboy Poets Gathering, and the event hosts cowboy enthusiasts from all over the country. They are keeping the oral traditions of the cowboy alive with this observance. The narratives talk of the cowboy's lives on the range.
Don't miss this great event and bring the kids, because they'll love this experience.
