MINESHAFT WEEKEND

The 5th Anniversary Celebration of Mineshaft Weekend will take place September 11-15 in the historic mountain mining town of Bisbee, Arizona.

Mineshaft Weekend is a weekend event for gay men that takes place in the historic old west mining town of Bisbee Arizona. It will feature over 20 different events including a big Saturday night dance party at an historic theatre plus a new Friday night Military-theme party, plus 4 happy hours, dinners, bar parties, drag and cabaret shows, excursions, daytime events and activities and some afterhour hangouts!

Our goal is to create a fun weekend which expose out of town visitors to some of the unique venues that make Bisbee such a special place. A detailed Schedule of Events is coming online shorrtly.

Supporting the local community is an essential element of Mineshaft Weekend. In fact Mineshaft Weekend was created in 2021 specifically to help Bisbee's tourism economy recover after the COVID pandemic. Our support for local businesses and hotels has had an estimated $300,000 in financial impact and we have also given $2,000 to Friends of the Bisbee Animal Shelter to help provide resources for local animal rescue and care.

We offer a weekend pass in the form of a military-style DogTag that allows entry in to most events, including many with food and drink included. Please check out the "Tickets" page for a list of benefits and Dogtags pick up times and locations.

The gay-owned Carrick Hotel is our official host hotel and awe have other gay owned and supportive properties as well. We will be posting a list. VRBO and AirBNB is also a good resource.
