ABOUT THE 'PODGE


FB Event Page!
THE HONKY TONK HODGEPODGE in Cold Beer, NM is a free-to-attend music festival, now in its 8th (and final) year. 2023's Hodgepodge will take place the night of August 11th from 6pm until midnight & 10am to midnight August 12th at the infamous Colfax Tavern. Camping is available both evenings on the bar's property.

This year, the fest boasts 32 acts scheduled to perform over two days spanning a wide array of genres (from harp-driven folk to metal to synthpop to punk to blues to, you guessed it, honky tonk). We've even added a comedy hour and yoga to Saturday morning's festivities!

To get to the Hodgepodge, simply take Highway 64 West out of Raton or East out of Cimarron. When 64 hits the 505, you're there (can't miss it).

'PODGE FAQ

How do I get there?

As mentioned in the event description you surely read above, to get to the Hodgepodge, simply take Highway 64 West out of Raton or East out of Cimarron. When 64 hits the 505, you're there (can't miss it).

What is up with the camping?

Camping is on the premises, in the designated fenced lot behind the stage. We make a little tent-city. Please clean up after yourself. Small campfires are allowed IF there are not burn bans. No firearms. There are porta potties.

Is there food/drink?

Yup. Please buy all of your tasty food/drink inside at the bar. It is mostly bar food with some vegetarian and limited vegan options. Find out more at their Facebook page. CASH ONLY!

Note: outside alcohol and illegal drugs are not permitted.

What if myself or a fellow 'Podger is not feeling so hot?

We are working with the medical providers from Philmont Scout Ranch staff to be on-site during the festival.

Is the Hodgepodge wheelchair accessible? Is there seating or places to be where there is not music?

The bar and the outdoor floor are accessible, but the rest of the ground is uneven and unpaved. There is seating by the stages, as well as quiet areas if you are looking for a breather from the tunes. Bring earplugs, too, in case your ears need some padding.

Can I bring my kids?

Yup!

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, but clean up after it and take good care of it.

Who do I talk to about booking?

Booking is closed for 2023, sorry!

Who do I talk to about volunteering?

Yes, please (especially all you sound engineers planning to be in attendance)! E-mail trinidattie@gmail.com and/or suz.magnuson@gmail.com.
