Why it belongs on your list
Frozen Dead Guy Days is Colorado’s famously quirky celebration inspired by Grandpa Bredo Morstoel, whose cryonics story began the tradition in Nederland. The festival is now based in Estes Park. Its official 2026 program centered on the Saturday coffin races at the Estes Park Events Complex, with music, costumes, pop-ups, art, and community events extending across the weekend.
