Hear ye' hear ye'! We are pleased to announce that the local non-profit that will benefit from this year's Pirate Ball is.... *Drum roll*.... Goar Park Lunches and Food Pantry.

Last year we were able to deliver a b***y of $750 from the Pirate Ball to Cochise Harm Reduction!! Caring for the community is part of our Pirate code, arrrrrrrr.

More details for this year's ball are coming soon, but you can save the date for August 7th 2026! We hope to see you there!

Each spring, Bisbee celebrates the return of its most iconic residents with the Return of the Turkey Vultures—a quirky, community-loved event welcoming back the migrating birds that signal the start of warmer days. Always held the second weekend in March, this celebration marks the moment the vultures begin circling the hills once again, just as they’ve done for generations.

It’s classic Bisbee, a little strange, deeply local, and full of charm.

✨ Stay at The Carrick Hotel and be right in the center of it all. Located in the heart of Old Bisbee, we’re within easy walking distance to event happenings, local shops, galleries, and dining. Park once, stroll everywhere, and soak up this uniquely Bisbee weekend.

Come celebrate the birds.

Stay for the history, character, and community spirit.

Your Bisbee experience starts at The Carrick Hotel.
