Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It might seem like zombies and fashion would mix about as well as oil and water, but that’s just because you haven’t thought about it nearly as much as Summer Jackson. Her annual March of the Zombies fashion extravaganza is kicking off its fifth year, and the combination of high fashion and the walking dead seems as natural as can be to her.
“If you think about it, if you were to get attacked during a zombie apocalypse, you would be turned in whatever outfit you were wearing,” she explains. “So you can pretty much design anything and have it be ‘zombie,’ as long as you have the blood and gore to go with it.”
As a bonus this year, the zombification process will be carried out live, so you can watch beautiful people transformed into necrotic, disgusting ghouls before your very eyes. There’s also an art show, with both zombie and non-zombie art, and music from Reno Divorce, Lost Point, Fallen and Forgotten and the Flash Mob.
The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Grizzly Rock, 5255 West Sixth Avenue (Sheridan and Sixth) in Lakewood. Admission to the all-ages event is $10. For more info and to buy tickets, visit www.marchzombies.com.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
