"Mineshaft" is Southern Arizona's premiere gay mens weekend featuring three days and nights of parties, events and activities in the picturesque old west mining town of Bisbee, Arizona.

Mineshaft Weekend takes place October 2-5

A commemorative "dogtag" is your ticket to most of the events but there are also optional events like brunches and activities in town like the mine tour that require an additional ticket. So there is lots to do.

Mineshaft was created to help the town recover from the plunge in tourism that occurred during the COVID pandemic. In the years following, Mineshaft and now our new event called Bisbee Rainbow Weekend has been responsible for generating over $400,000 in estimated economic activity. In addition we have donated $3,000 to The local animal shelter and to Tucson Queerstory.
