......YOU GONNA GIT GOLD FEVER?

~ P I O N E E R T O W N ~

~Pioneertown is a Movie Set built in 1946 to film Syndicated Television Westerns beginning with The Cisco Kid. The Town was also used for productions involving Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Judge Roy Bean, Range Rider, Buffalo Bill Jr. and Annie Oakley to name just a few. Our Wild Bunch Shows incorporate exclusively Western Movie Themes to keep in touch with, and to show our respect to, the true Spirit of Pioneertown, one of the great Western Cinema locations of all time. If you are looking for the real true authentic old west, or what's left of it, go to Tombstone or Deadwood. If you are looking for a true Historical Town where Western Movies were created for Televison and the Silver Screen, you have come to the right place. Lights Camera, Action! Let the Show begin~

~~~~~~~PIONEERTOWN~ A WALK THROUGH TIME~~~~~~~

Ride the Carriage!

Professional Gunfighters Here!

Not since the Old West Movie days of the Silver Screen has Pioneertown been envaded by a Wild Bunch of 'Professional Gunfighters'. This 'Wild Bunch' is not here to be what you might call the best around. Actually they are dead set on being not only the worst, but also the most irreverent, politically incorrect, incorrigible and, as well, for the most part, ever so delicately, the somewhat crudest performers around. Their forte is satire, and they waste no time in that regard as they insist on mingling one on one with their audiences. Even during their Shows they incorporate the audience as an active participant, sometimes willing or not. If you have never experienced this enveloping type of entertainment before, you may find it exciting and very entertaining and even frollicking fun for the whole family. So stop starching your nickers and come be with The Wild Bunch every first and third Sunday. For a unique experience, don't you miss it! These Shows are free to the public~ all gratuities appreciated!

Pioneertown envaded by Wild Bunch!

Townfolk take warning! The First and Third Sunday of every month this here Wild Bunch envades Pioneertown in broad daylight. Due to their close ties to the so called 'Mayor', the gang proceeds to hold a fast draw competition right on Mane Street, creating anxiety and mayhem among the local townfolk. Course, everyone shows up to see the shenanagans just out of 'pure and innocent' bystander curiosity. These Hooligans are not your typical peaceful skit loving volunteer gunslingers that we normally see on weekends, oh noooo! These are Professional Gunfighters who will SHOOT anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyway, anywho, and anyhow! Why over at the Miner's Camp in the Indio Hills one of these vicious madcaps shot a townfolk for snoring. Now that,s outright vicious, mean, and cruel behavior on an innocent napper... The gang takes over Mane Street about 2 pm starting with seating and kiddie Pow Wow Drumming (SHOW is at 2:30 pm) on an otherwise peaceful dull Sunday afternoon. If you be likewise overtly outragingly disgusted, as we are, be sure to come over early to get a good seat. Fair warning, you may laugh, you may cry, you may cringe, and you may...... just come on over, you may have alot of fun, which ain't illegal so far~
