HELLDORADO - 2009

October 16-18

Tombstone,
Arizona Territory

2008 schedule below

Get ready for Helldorado 2009.  This year we celebrate our 80th anniversary.  This is going to be a Great Helldorado 2009.  Tomorrows may be greater, but it can not equal the interest and the excitement of this year's celebration.  With blue skies above us, green hills around us, old friends will be meeting and walking the those dusty boardwalks of Tombstone.  New friendships will be struck and remain for a lifetime.  All of our finery will be on display for the world to see.  So, forget your worries and cares and make arrangements to be with us for our 80th anniversary.

Friday starts off with the National Anthem at 10:30 with entertainment every ten minutes until about 5:00pm.  Saturday will be a very action packed day, starting at 10:00AM and running until 5:00PM, with over 30 different entertainment groups from belly dancers, gunfighters, line dancers, cowboy stories, music and just plain good old fun.

Saturday night, Helldorado, Inc. will once again host the annual Cowboy Social, at Tombstone Vigilante Hall, 22 E Allen St, where all the entertainers are welcome, and good times will be had by all.

On Sunday, at 11:00AM, the parade will step off at 6th and Allen and proceed to 2nd St.  The now renowned Cowboy Walkdown, will proceed down the same route to 4th and Allen.  This will be a great photo opportunity for everyone.  The day's events will also include the Yee Haw contest, as well as street entertainment and gunfights all afternoon after the parade.

Below are the 2008 parade winners.
