PHOENIX â As many are ready to say goodbye to 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic carries on and has forced some of Arizona s more unique New Year s Eve celebrations to make changes.
Prescott s popular New Year s Eve Boot Drop held in the heart of the town s Whiskey Row has been canceled. Further up north, the iconic Pinecone Drop in Flagstaff will be held virtually this year. Weâve tried to come up with a balanced solution, consulted local officials and sponsor partners, but in the end there just is no way to follow mitigation procedures given the layout of downtown, said Matt Brassard, co-owner of M & M Entertainment & Production, which helps put on Prescott s yearly Boot Drop.
