The 28th Annual Rendezvous of Gunfighters September 4-7, 2009! Sponsored by Hell's Belles, inc.

What is Rendezvous? For 27 years, the Wild Bunch have hosted an event where other old west re-enactment groups can perform
their skits and shoot-outs at the famous OK Corral for the visitors of Tombstone. It's 3 days of great shows by groups from across 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.
This year, Rendezvous will be held September 4-7, 2009!
