MINESHAFT WEEKEND

The Mineshaft "Pride Edition" is June 20-24 2024 and is a special event weekend put together to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of LGBT+ pride in the town of Bisbee.

Mineshaft Weekend is a 4-day event for gay men that takes place in the historic mining town of Bisbee Arizona. It features a around a dozen different events such as happy hours, dinners, bar parties, dances, shows, excursions and daytime events.

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 online

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 presenting sponsor. The hotel is sold out. We recommend going on Google to check for hotels (many online booking sites, like hotels, com, don't list everything. VRBO and AirBNB is also a good resource.
