Acker Musical ShowcaseKnown simply as "Acker Night" in the Prescott community, The J.S. Acker Musical Showcase has become a highlight of the holiday season and one of Prescott's favorite hometown events.

This free, annual, holiday event showcases the many talented musicians in the Prescott area in a most unique way. More than 80 downtown businesses open their doors to host musical groups of every genre, turning Prescott's downtown into a veritable smorgasboard of entertainment for the thousands of patrons who come out to enjoy the event each year.

This year's Acker Musical Showcase will be held on December 12th, 2008 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Donations collected combined with support from the community sponsors help provide music scholarships to Prescott area children. Proceeds from this event have provided local area schools assistance with their music programs from buying much needed musical instruments to assisting in transportation to competitions. Many of these recipients participate in the showcase as performers

You can help support The J.S. Acker Musical Showcase by volunteering your time, talent, or financial assistance. The showcase committee is always in need of volunteers and area sponsors to help with this event.

To assist financially, please send your tax deductible contribution to:

The J.S. Acker Music Park Association Inc.
P.O. Box 12677
Prescott, Arizona 86304
