GOLD RUSH DAYS 2021 HAS BEEN CANCELLED
As many of you may have heard, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of our 73rd Annual Gold Rush Days. We want to do our part in helping slow the already-increasing spread of COVID-19 in Wickenburg, and for this reason, the Chamber Board of Directors have made the difficult decision to cancel Gold Rush Days this year.
With the anticipation of a large influx of people from all over the state, especially given the cancellation of other events within Arizona, we run the risk of holding a super-spreader event. We see that it is better to prevent a local shutdown because of increased illnesses. Maintaining a steady drip of income will ensure that our local economy will continue moving forward.
We have not taken this decision lightly, but we feel that is in the best interest of the health and safety of our community, volunteers, attendees, and exhibitors.
We hope that you understand this decision and continue to support our local businesses alongside us.
Warm regards,
Wickenburg Chamber Staff & Board of Directors

HISTORIC WICKENBURG
When visitors want a real, authentic taste of the Wild West, they visit Wickenburg. The town has successfully merged the past with the present in a way that awakens the cowboy in everyone.
Enjoy a day of fine art at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, watch a performance at The Webb Center, or take a historic walking tour through Wickenburg’s restored downtown area.
We hike trails, ride horses, and then ride in a jeep to experience natural trails and historic places. We can participate or watch team roping at local arenas, ride a mountain bike, golf, shop, eat, play or sit and wait for the sunset.
We disconnect from the grid and reconnect with each other, and have since 1863.
Take a day trip or spend a week, because there’s no better place to truly experience the historic wonder of the West.
