Brewery Gulch Daze, on August 31st, in Bisbee will remember 128 years of history with the 44th Annual Brewery Gulch Daze. The Gulch, once considered the wildest street in North America, was home to breweries, saloons, gambling halls and the Line, across which ladies of the evening plied their trade. The celebration harks back to the days of Crazy Horse Lil, Irish Mag, Katie Elder and Black Jack, who dressed like a man, and recalls the Opera House, Kentucky Home Bar, the Hermitage and Mariotte’s French Kitchen. The Queen of the Copper Camps celebrates her heritage in carnival with plenty to do, see, hear and taste.
