The ‘Softer Side of Tombstone’ is celebrated each spring with the Tombstone Rose Festival. This yearly event celebrates the blooming of “The World’s Largest Rose Tree”.

The annual celebration is sponsored by the Tombstone Vigilettes, a non-profit, charitable organization of ladies portraying The Women of Tombstone, Arizona from 1880 to 1915.

The coronation of this year’s Rose Queen will take place the evening of Friday the 12th. Saturday the 13th will see famous Rose Tree parade at 11am, musical entertainment, dancers, and other fun activities. Sunday the 14th will feature Family Fun on Allen Street with the Tombstone Vigilantes. They will have the Hanging Tree up for fun pictures.

This year’s festival promises to be another fun weekend of good family entertainment!!!
