About Bisbee

Bisbee's story is notorious. The guidebook blurb goes something like this: A mining town goes boom then bust, and later finds new life as a bohemian enclave. There’s more to it than that, of course. The details are both harrowing and heroic. They’re also easy to find and worth a deep dive.
 
But what is Bisbee like today? It doesn’t take an historian to answer that question—it takes an experience of the place, which is something 50,000 visitors have each year in addition to the 5,000 residents. Your experience of Bisbee might have been a weekend at the Mariachi Festival, Sidepony Express, Prowl, Burnerella, Pride, Plein Air Festival, Alice in Bisbeeland, Blues in Bisbee, or a museum exhibition. Perhaps you raced in the Bisbee 1000 or visited the world-class Artemizia Foundation. Maybe you regularly spend a whole season or two in town. Maybe it's your home all year long.
 
Whatever the case, Bisbee is a little bit like you. Whether you're a ghost hunter, bird watcher, record collector, vagabond or rock hound, your vibe is here because this place thrives on diversity in lifestyle and avocation. It welcomes artists, nurses, teachers, musicians, cooks, photographers and plumbers—among many other talented folks who make up a colorful tapestry.

Ultimately, Bisbee is a place where people find community.
