  • Resumen

  • Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, May 3rd, 2025.

    We’re starting today with some exciting civic news. For the very first time, Boulder and Boulder County are co-hosting a Community Assembly this Saturday, where residents are invited to join conversations on neighborhood priorities and local action. This new tradition aims to strengthen the city’s connection with residents, so if you’re curious about local developments or have something on your mind, this is your chance to get involved and help shape Boulder’s future.

    Boulder is still buzzing after a passionate International Workers Day rally earlier this week, where hundreds gathered downtown to call for fair wages, better labor protections, and to push back against federal cuts to science funding. Mayor Aaron Brockett reminded the crowd that Boulder’s world-class NOAA research center is essential for wildfire alerts and flood forecasting. He stressed that community voices are more important than ever, especially when facing challenges that hit close to home. That message of resilience and unity lingers in the air as the weekend gets underway, reminding us all that change begins at the local level.

    There’s plenty to celebrate in Boulder this month, too. May marks Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and a highlight this weekend is Nepali Jatra, an annual festival celebrating Nepali music, dance, and food in Boulder. The county is a proud sponsor, so look out for colorful festivities where you can enjoy authentic tastes and performances from Boulder’s growing Nepali community.

    For families and young explorers, don’t miss the Official Junior Explorer Ceremony happening at the North Boulder Recreation Center today. This event is part of Boulder’s push to connect kids with local nature and history, perfect for sparking curiosity about the stories and landscapes that shape our city.

    And if you’re looking for something unique, consider joining the Digging Boulder tour. This walk takes you along some of Boulder’s historic irrigation ditches, revealing how water shaped the city’s growth. It’s a great way to get outside, learn something new, and see Boulder from a fresh perspective.

    That’s a wrap on today’s local highlights. Whether you’re lending your voice at the Community Assembly, exploring Boulder’s heritage, or simply soaking in the spring air, there’s always something happening in our vibrant town.

    This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
