| What is Rendezvous? For over 26 years, the Wild Bunch have hosted an event where other old west re-enactment groups can perform their skits and shoot-outs in the famous OK Corral for the visitors of Tombstone. It's 3 days of great shows by groups from all over the country, and is an event traditionally held on Labor Day Weekend (end of August/beginning of September). Our Hell's Belles also sponsor an authentic costume contest and parade on the Sunday of that weekend. Like all our events, the monies raised are donated to local charities. It's our biggest event of the year, and is a great opportunity for both the visiting performers and visitors to Tombstone. 2006 marked the 25th Annual Rendezvous of Gunfighters! A silver anniversary in the old silver mining town! This year, Rendezvous will be held August 29-September 1, 2008! Check below for details of the weekend's events! Click HERE for photos of the weekend, including 2007's winners! Old west reenactment groups interested in participating in Rendezvous 2008, please contact us here. The below mentioned groups and events are the only ones authorized as part of Rendezvous Weekend. |
