The 31st Annual Apache Leap Mining Festival
From Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17, 2019, the Superior Chamber of Commerce will present the 31st Annual Apache Leap Mining Festival, a unique event that is beloved by locals and visitors alike. The fun-filled line-up of activities will include a parade, a carnival, live entertainment, and opportunities to learn about mining and Superior’s rich history.
On Friday evening, the festival will launch on Main Street with a carnival, vendors, music and a Friday night “Miners Rock……and Roll” theme! Attendees are invited to dress for the Rock and Roll era and take a stroll down memory lane as they kick up their heels with ’50’s and ’60’s music by Neto and the Imagine.
Saturday will begin with the annual parade on Main Street led by the Grand Marshals, who all worked at the smelter. There will also be hilarious Chihuahua races and a string of great entertainers performing throughout the event. Attendees will not want to miss the mining competition, in which men and women compete to win the coveted prize of a $3,000 purse by performing the grueling activities of sawing, mucking, spiking and drilling. Younger members of the family will enjoy the Kid’s Zone, where they will learn about mining hands-on and pan for pennies. After a full day, attendees can relax and enjoy a cold beverage from the Blasting Zone Beer Garden and dance in the streets to the music of Sol Deville. The fun will continue on Sunday with the music of mariachis and others.
This one-of-a-kind event is free to the public, with the exception of vendors, the carnival and the beer garden.
