Prosser Washington Tourism

Historical Prosser is a treat as you travel from the Tri-Cities northwest toward the Yakima Valley on I-82.

Prosser is a quiet, friendly town surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Nestled between the foot of the Horse Heaven Hills and Rattlesnake Hills with the Yakima River running right through the town, you can enjoy the many parks for picnicking, cycling, walking, or just relaxing.

Looking for something unique? Prosser offers many community events during the year, something for everyone. In June the Prosser Scottish Fest & Highland Games brings the world of old Scottland to central Washington. Traditional foods, clans, dance competition, music, and of course Heavy Highland Games are sure to please. In July, artists from all over the Pacific Northwest display their work at the annual Art Walk & Wine Gala. Live jazz, tasty treats, and 20 local wineries provide the best that Washington has to offer as the streets of the historic downtown are transformed into a evening art park. August means Wine & Food Fair time in Prosser as the community hosts the largest and oldest outdoor wine event in the state. And in late September the skies above Prosser reflect every color in the rainbow as the Great Prosser Balloon Rally takes to the air. Held in conjunction with the Harvest Festival and Street Painting Festival, the balloon rally draws over 35 hot air balloons and thousands of visitors each year.

While in Prosser feel comfortable and safe walking in town or meandering through the beautiful neighborhoods. The tree-lined streets beckon you to explore the historical homes and landmarks in the community. A visit to the Benton County Historical Museum in the City Park is a must and speaking of the City Park, each Saturday morning from May thru September, the Prosser Farmer’s Market offers fresh local produce, flowers, plants, crafts, and food.

Prosser is the “birthplace” of the Washington Wine industry and proudly showcases over 25 local wineries. Wine enthusiasts world-wide travel here to taste of some Washington’s premier vintages.
