It is held in March and features speaking engagements and signings with authors from all over the world. TFOB also has a variety of booths and hotspots for people to learn about the community, different cultures, and a variety of special interest topics.

One of those events—the Tombstone Wild West Days—is held in March and features a parade, street entertainment, and rodeo games. In 2018, the Wild West Days will be dedicated to the men and women of the United States’ Armed Forces.
