    Saturday in Boulder: Art, Music, and Sweet Treats
    May 10 2025
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, May 10, 2025.

    Looking out over the Flatirons today, it is shaping up to be a picture-perfect spring weekend in Boulder, with a clear view from Louisville and those famous peaks glowing under the morning sun. Despite the chill in the early hours, the city is already buzzing with energy, so let’s dive into what’s happening around town and how you can make the most of your Saturday.

    First up, for those craving a cultural experience, the City of Boulder is launching its much-anticipated Experiments in Public Art lecture series.

Whether you are an art enthusiast or just curious about how public spaces and art interact, this promises to be an inspiring way to kick off your evening.

    Boulder’s vibrant calendar is packed with even more ways to get out and connect with your neighbors. Downtown and throughout the city, you’ll find everything from live music and trivia nights to local food events and craft fairs. Today is an especially good day to wander the Boulder Farmers Market, sample some local produce, or check out one of the pop-up performances that tend to sprinkle a little extra magic downtown.

    If you are up for a little adventure beyond the usual, consider making a quick trip to Denver for the final day of the Colorado Chocolate Festival. It is a sweet way to indulge and explore regional chocolatiers, and it runs just through today. For music fans looking ahead, Katy Perry is coming to Ball Arena on May 15, so now’s a good time to grab tickets.

    On the running scene, the world-renowned BolderBoulder 10K is just a couple of weeks away, but excitement is already building. If you haven’t registered, you can still join the fun by cheering on runners as they make their way through Boulder neighborhoods on May 26. Expect some detours downtown and increased RTD service, so plan accordingly if you are out and about.

    And as always, with so much happening—from art and music to fresh food and fitness—Boulder proves it’s a city where every day brings something new to discover. So whether you are connecting with friends at a coffee shop, taking a hike, or catching an event, make some memories this Saturday.

  • County Clash, Shelter Stress, and Biking Boost: Local Updates for Boulder, May 8th, 2025

    County Clash, Shelter Stress, and Biking Boost: Local Updates for Boulder, May 8th, 2025
    May 8 2025
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, May 8th, 2025.

    Kicking off today’s rundown, a major local story is unfolding between Boulder County and members of the Boulder County Employees Union. County commissioners have filed a legal action to pause upcoming contract negotiations with the union, which was set to start bargaining later this month. The commissioners, along with Boulder County Public Health and the Housing Authority, are seeking to delay talks until a previous appeal is decided. Dozens of county employees showed up at a recent public comment session to urge the county to drop what several called anti-union tactics and return to the negotiating table. Union members argue that the county’s latest move undermines promises of equity and justice, and many will be watching closely to see how this legal standoff plays out and what it means for local workers and the services they provide.

    Meanwhile, Boulder’s shelter system is under stress. All Roads, the city’s largest homeless shelter, reduced its bed capacity late last month due to county funding cuts. In just a few weeks, the average number of people turned away each night has quadrupled, jumping from about four to seventeen. This comes as the city continues strict enforcement of its urban camping ban, leaving many with nowhere to go. Citations for camping can stack up to fines or even jail time, although there’s an option to resolve them through community court. Advocates warn that this combination of pressure is putting vulnerable residents at greater risk, and the conversation about solutions is heating up just as another election season approaches.

    On the streets, expect some slowdowns: Major repaving and upgrades are underway along Boulder Canyon Drive between 28th Street and the entrance to Boulder Canyon. Crews are working overnight on sidewalk and utility improvements, with resurfacing scheduled to continue into mid-August. Nighttime lane closures are in effect from 6:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Friday, so drivers should plan for delays and watch for pedestrian detours. Daytime construction will roll out later this month, so keep an eye out as summer traffic builds.

    And speaking of summer, Boulder is gearing up for a busy event season by making it easier to move around by bike. The city is replacing 350 bike racks in commercial areas and sprucing up secure bike shelters, while launching a new app-based valet service called Bike Drop. You’ll be able to check in your bike with GPS tracking at big events like the Boulder Creek Festival and BOLDERBoulder, and your ride will even be logged in a national bike registry, making things safer and more convenient for all the cyclists out there.

    Looking for something to do today? Classical music lovers can catch a performance of Gustav Mahler’s poignant Sixth Symphony, and the North Central Climate Adaptation team is holding a webinar on the impacts of forest restoration and grassland management—timely topics given our region’s ongoing climate challenges. For those seeking ways to give back, Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteers to help serve Boulder’s most vulnerable neighbors.

    That’s your local pulse for May 8th. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
