Local Frequency - Boulder

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, October 27. A crisp, blue-sky start to the week in Boulder kicks off what promises to be an unforgettable stretch of Halloween and Día de los Muertos celebrations in town.

With Halloween landing on Friday this year, Boulder is leaning all the way into the spirit, so if you missed the weekend festivities, don’t worry—there’s still plenty of time for tricks, treats, and a little science with a spooky twist. Tonight at Rayback Collective, Astronomy on Tap returns with a Halloween special. Bring your curiosity—and your costume—to join local astronomers for cosmic trivia, themed cocktails, and a costume contest starting at 6 p.m. Rayback’s family-friendly vibe and science-forward fun make it a favorite local stop.

Just across town, the Junkyard Social Club is getting weird in the best way with Five Fifths Ghostbusters, a theatrical haunted party mashing up the iconic movie with Boulder’s own flair. Doors open at 6:30, and the stage comes alive with local theater, music, and drag artists. Costumes strongly encouraged, mayhem assured, and your ticket supports some of Boulder’s boldest creatives.

For a quieter celebration of culture and memory, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art features a stunning Día de los Muertos exhibit this week. Local artists Jorge Flores and Lizeth Guadalupe have created moving ofrendas, or altars, honoring loved ones and the rich traditions of Day of the Dead. This exhibit runs through November 2, inviting everyone to pause and reflect.

In campus news, CU Boulder’s homecoming celebrations ramp up today with the kickoff on Farrand Field from noon to two—expect free food, Buffs swag, and Chip the Buffalo making his traditional appearance. This is just the first of a week of parades, parties, and school spirit, culminating in a Friday football game against the Arizona Wildcats.

Local headlines have also been marked by somber news. On Saturday, a tragic crash in Nederland claimed the life of a motorcyclist after a collision with a sedan. Boulder County authorities are reminding everyone to stay extra vigilant on our roads, especially during these busy fall weeks. The crash remains under investigation.

On the lighter side, CU soccer fans have something to cheer about—the Buffs shut out Arizona yesterday, and two longstanding school records fell in a single game. Hope Leyba became the program’s single-season goal leader, and goalie Jordan Nytes set a new record for career shutouts. If you’re looking for the next game, the Buffs head to Kansas this Thursday.

With Boulder filling up with costumed little ones for Friday’s beloved Munchkin Masquerade on Pearl Street, a Halloween-themed comedy night at the Dairy Arts Center, and family-friendly events from cookie decorating at Lucky’s Market to science demos at NCAR’s Super Science Saturday, there’s an abundance of ways to join the fun and connect with your neighbors.

That’s a quick scan of what’s happening here and

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, October 25th, 2025.

We're starting with a public safety alert this morning. Boulder Police are asking for your help in identifying a suspect involved in an unusual assault that happened Thursday evening near 27th Way and Baseline Road. According to authorities, a cyclist was attacked from behind by someone on inline skates wielding a hockey stick. The suspect is described as a white male of medium-tall height with a slender build, wearing all black clothing and a black ski mask. Police say he had a distinctive green Gatorade bottle with an orange top in his back right pants pocket. The victim wasn't seriously injured and refused medical treatment, but investigators are taking this seriously. They believe the attacker may have followed the victim from the CU Boulder campus and are looking into whether social media posts about the victim played a role in the incident. If you have any information, contact Boulder Police Detective Erin Starks at 303-441-3067.

On a much brighter note, Boulder has plenty of fun activities happening today.

Sunrise in Boulder is a perfect autumn palette today, with the Flatirons holding a misty pink hue.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, October 19, 2025.

It’s a crisp fall morning in Boulder, and the energy downtown is still buzzing after a record-setting weekend of demonstrations and music. Yesterday, thousands filled the Bandshell and Central Park for the “No Kings” rally, part of a nationwide day of action supporting democracy and opposing authoritarianism. Local officials, organizers, and longtime activists spoke out, calling for sustained engagement as the crowd spilled out onto nearby streets. The atmosphere wasn’t just political—it was celebratory, with protest chants blending with live street music and the festival pace on Pearl Street. Many passersby joined, and the message was clear: Boulder's civic voice is louder than ever.

If you missed the downtown march, don’t worry—Boulder’s calendar is packed with uplifting community events today. The Roots Music Fest continues on Pearl Street Mall, drawing crowds with a wild mix of folk, bluegrass, rock, and even electronic acts. The festival runs all day and promises plenty of opportunities to catch collaborations and surprise guests from Boulder’s top local musicians. Whether you’re a die-hard festivalgoer or just strolling with a coffee, the sounds and sights of Roots Music Fest are hard to miss.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, October 18th, 2025. Grab your coffee and settle in, because today Boulder is absolutely buzzing with energy from downtown all the way to Folsom Field.

Let’s start with live music, because if you’re anywhere near CU’s iconic stadium this evening, you’ll hear the pulsing beats of superstar DJ John Summit. He’s headlining Folsom Field at 5:30 p.m. along with Tchami, Max Styler, and more, marking the biggest solo show of Summit’s career right here in Boulder. This isn’t just another concert—it’s a landmark for Colorado’s electronic scene, drawing fans from all over the country to the Rockies. If you haven’t scored your tickets yet, you’ll want to act fast; sources say this will be one for the history books, joining legendary acts like the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and The Grateful Dead who have all played this venue.

But the rhythm isn’t confined to just one place—downtown Boulder is in full festival mode with the Boulder Roots Music Fest rolling through all weekend. From 11 a.m. to nearly midnight, you can catch over 800 artists on 15 stages dotting Pearl Street, including sets by Andy Frasco & The U.N., North Mississippi Allstars, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and local favorites like Yonder Mountain String Band. The genres range from Americana and bluegrass to funk and electronica, so whether you’re a die-hard fan or just want to wander and soak up the sounds, there’s something for everyone. Family-friendly, accessible, and filled to the brim with Colorado talent—the Roots Fest is Boulder’s autumn signature.

If singing along is more your style, the annual World Singing Day takes over the 1300 block of Pearl Street Mall from 2 to 3:30 p.m. today. Bring your voice—good, bad, or somewhere in between—and join neighbors for a celebration of community through music. Lyric booklets are provided, so you can belt out songs by everyone from the Beatles to Taylor Swift in a big, joyous singalong. It’s all about connecting and having fun, no rehearsals required.

For those looking to stay plugged into local issues, Boulder Reporting Lab reminds us there’s an election right around the corner, with four city council seats open and three ballot measures up for vote. It’s a good time to read up and get informed, as these decisions shape everything from neighborhood projects to larger city initiatives.

If you’re headed to Denver, be mindful of the big "No Kings" protest downtown today. Thousands are expected, which might cause transit delays on RTD, so plan your route and leave some extra time if you’re traveling to or through the Denver area.

Finally, Boulder’s clear skies mean a perfect day for hiking, biking, or just gazing at the Flatirons. Whether you’re music festival hopping, joining a singalong, or simply enjoying the fall colors, Boulder is alive with options for everyone.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, October 16. The fall sun is shining, and Boulder is buzzing with news, music, and plenty of ways to connect and celebrate as we settle into the heart of October.

The top story this morning is that Boulder County may be putting a pause on upcoming minimum wage hikes after local farmers and small business owners voiced concerns that the planned increases could force closures. Worker advocates say that current wages are still far from meeting the true cost of living in Boulder County, so commissioners have promised to revisit the issue again next week. This conversation highlights the balancing act between keeping local businesses healthy and making Boulder a livable place for everyone.

In food news, Lafayette is making waves thanks to Cherry Shuler, known as the Cheesecake Whisperer. She’s built a following with an incredible 160 flavors of cheesecake, not to mention her signature hugs. If you’re looking for comfort food with epic mountain views, Wondervu Café in Coal Creek Canyon is serving up chile rellenos and cherry pie. Fall produce is popping up at farm stands, so grab the freshest picks while they last.

Turning to education, Boulder’s schools are in the midst of change as new data shows student enrollment is down sharply since 2017, and could keep dropping for the next decade. As local schools shift, so does Boulder’s future. It’s a story that touches every family and sparks conversations about how our community is evolving.

Weather-wise, get ready for a stretch of almost summer-like warmth, with highs nearing 80 today and a rare chance for some October thunderstorms later on. Expect gusty winds and possibly a quick downpour if a storm rolls through your neighborhood. Cooler weather returns tomorrow, so take advantage while you can.

Music lovers, this weekend brings the launch of the Boulder Roots Music Fest, running Friday through Sunday across fifteen stages along Pearl Street and beyond. With 180 bands and over 750 artists, you’ll catch everyone from the Yonder Mountain String Band to Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, plus dozens of Colorado favorites. The festival blends music with wellness, dance, youth performances, and collaborations with groups like World Singing Day and School of Rock.

If you’re in Nederland, local businesses are working hard to reopen after the recent Caribou Village fire, with a fundraising event planned at the Black Forest Inn on October 25 to support affected employees and first responders.

Keep an eye out for prescribed burns starting this week in Boulder and across the county. You may notice smoke on the horizon as crews work to reduce wildfire risk and promote healthy ecosystems. These burns are carefully monitored, so there’s no need to call emergency services if you see activity in the designated areas.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

We’re waking up to a brisk but beautiful autumn day in Boulder, and there’s a lot happening across the city and beyond. First up, conversation continues around the future of Boulder County’s minimum wage. The current minimum wage is sixteen dollars and fifty-seven cents an hour, but it’s on track to rise to nearly eighteen dollars in January and a gradual climb to twenty-five dollars by 2030. Local businesses, especially farms and small markets, are voicing concern about keeping up with these increases, while county commissioners argue higher wages are essential to help families handle Boulder’s high cost of living. If you’ve got an opinion on this, you can join the public hearing this afternoon at 1 p.m. at the County Commissioners’ office or online—today’s your chance to help shape policy that affects your neighbors and local economy.

In Nederland, the community is still responding to the devastating Caribou Village fire that displaced about twenty businesses last week. The town extended its emergency declaration, allowing access to more assistance, and efforts are underway to relocate affected shops and services to the Black Forest Inn, which is being prepped as a temporary home. If you’d like to support, you can drop by The Caribou Room tonight for a benefit event at 6:30, or help out by donating, volunteering, or simply supporting open Nederland businesses as they rebuild.

Boulder’s deep dive into the future continues with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. Locals can weigh in on critical issues like housing, climate, and the economy until the end of this week, so if you want a hand in Boulder's direction over the next decade, fill out the online questionnaire and let city leaders know your priorities.

For those looking to help shape policy closer to home, the Boulder County Planning Commission hosts a hybrid public meeting today at 1:30 p.m. If you care about land use, development code, or Boulder’s broader planning vision, you can participate either downtown or virtually.

Now, if you’re in the mood for music, mark your calendars for the Boulder Roots Music Fest happening this weekend. From Friday through Sunday, downtown Pearl Street will be alive with more than 800 artists on 15 stages, including sets from Yonder Mountain String Band and North Mississippi Allstars. There’s something for everyone—daytime, evening, and even late-night performances at venues across town. Don’t miss Sunday’s Indigenous People’s Day showcase at Savannah Bee and a string of surprise pop-up sets that will keep your feet moving all weekend.

Student life is buzzing at CU Boulder today with a First Gen Cultural Connections Game Night complete with free food and social games, and there’s also a virtual game night open to all with trivia, charades, and drawing for a lighthearted evening in.
