Frozen Dead Guy Days returns with music, races and quirky Colorado charm
Frozen Dead Guy Days is set to return for another lively weekend in Nederland, Colorado. Running from March 27 to 29, 2023, the quirky winter festival draws crowds of 30,000 to 40,000 each year. Known for its offbeat charm, the event brings music, races, and local food to the small mountain town.
The festival kicks off with a full schedule of activities across the weekend. One highlight is the live music concert on Saturday, March 28, starting at 2:00 p.m. The Rick Lewis Band, Little Moses Jones, and Bad Juju will take the stage, delivering soulful grooves, funk-driven rhythms, and hard-hitting rock.
Beyond the music, attendees can enjoy long-standing traditions like coffin races and food stalls. These attractions have become crowd favourites over the years. The event also plays a key role in boosting the local economy, generating over $1 million in revenue for the town of just 500 residents.
Frozen Dead Guy Days has grown into a major draw for visitors from Colorado and beyond. By filling hotels, restaurants, and event spaces, it provides a vital economic lift during the off-season. The festival's mix of music, quirky competitions, and local flavours ensures another memorable year for both residents and tourists.
