This event celebrates Wickenburg’s origins as a ranching & gold mining center in the days before Phoenix was established. The heritage event was founded 75 years ago, and today Gold Rush Days draws tens of thousands of visitors during the 3 ½ days of activities. Gold Rush Days most significant recognition is from the Library of Congress, “whereas Gold Rush Days is one of America’s Living Legacies.” The Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce is the proud producer of the celebration each year, along with partners and sponsors.
