27th Annual Rendezvous of Gunfighters
Labor Day Weekend, 8/29-9/1/2008
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!
