And along the way, discover unusual plants, animals and geology.

History Pavilion
Arizona History: through the People who Lived it
The Arizona History Pavilion eschews traditional timelines and instead views the last century through the prism of the people who lived in decades past. Take the journey inside to learn the story of the women’s suffrage movement and how Arizona women won the right to vote in 1912, the same year it became a state.

STEVIE & KARL ELLER
Arizona Military Pavilion
It’s World War II, and General MacArthur’s ‘ace in the hole’ during his return to the Philippines is the “Bushmasters,” an Arizona National Guard regiment. Years prior, Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders were, yes, mainly Arizonans. The stories go on and on. And these are but two snapshots to see at the Military Pavilion at Prescott Best Fest.
Sports Pavilion
This is a new addition to the Best Fest in Phoenix. Telling the story of Arizona athletes and sports is just another key component in what makes our state so great! You can read all about our teams accomplishments and see a few legendary trophies!
