  • Boulderthon, Buffs Soccer, and Monopoly: Busy Autumn in the City of Boulder
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, September 29, 2025.
    The sun is up and Boulder is buzzing with energy after a jam-packed weekend and an exciting start to the week ahead. If you were downtown yesterday morning, you no doubt caught the start—or maybe even ran—the Boulderthon, now officially one of America’s top five half marathons. Thousands filled the early autumn streets, capping off the race with an epic after party that lasted well into the day. If your legs need a slower pace, the Boulder Farmers Market is open every Saturday through November. You can still get your fix of local produce, fresh-baked goods, colorful flowers, and live music by the creek.
    Sports fans, the action keeps rolling. Over at Prentup Field, Buffs soccer clinched their sixth home win of the season yesterday with a last-minute goal from Hope Leyba. That win also set a record for Coach Danny Sanchez, notching his 100th victory at home for the Buffs. The soccer squad is hitting the road next, but you can still keep tabs on the football team after their historic face-off against BYU at Folsom Field on Saturday night. Rumors swirl about a growing rivalry between the two schools, so this could be the start of something big for Boulder sports.
    If you love watching world-class athleticism, swing by Colorado National Golf Club where the annual Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational tees off today. That’s 19 college teams, swinging for glory on the championship course just a dozen miles east of CU campus.
    Art lovers still have time to wander through the vibrant installations from the Street Wise Mural Festival, which transformed downtown with new works blending art and activism all weekend long. And music aficionados, your calendar is stacked. Tonight at Boulder Theater, Alkaline Trio turns up the volume with Public Opinion opening—fair warning, there’s a low ticket alert, so make your move if you haven’t already snagged a seat. Tomorrow, the indie scene keeps rolling with Panda Bear and Deakin taking over the stage, while the Fox Theatre welcomes Rose City Band for some rootsy, feel-good tunes.
    Looking further ahead, keep an eye out for Boulder’s very own Monopoly game hitting stores soon, with board spaces rumored to include the Flatirons, Pearl Street Mall, and maybe even your favorite local haunts. Twitter is already abuzz as folks debate which of Boulder’s iconic spots will earn a spot on the coveted rainbow properties.
    As we roll toward October, get ready for Fall Fest this coming weekend, complete with food, local crafts, music, and activities for all ages lining Pearl Street. And don’t forget, the Boulder Farmers Market continues into November, so Saturday mornings by Boulder Creek are still a perfect way to connect with the community.
    That’s your local frequency for Boulder today. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Boulder Local Digest: Football Heartbreak, Art Experiments, and Folktastic Tunes
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, September 28th, 2025. Here is what’s going on around Boulder today and what locals are talking about.
    Last night, Folsom Field was buzzing with energy as the Colorado Buffaloes took on BYU in a thrilling Big 12 football matchup. It was a game of comebacks, drama, and a little heartbreak for Boulder fans. Colorado came out blazing, quickly building a 14 to 0 lead behind quarterback Kaidon Salter, but BYU’s freshman sensation Bear Bachmeier orchestrated a gritty rally, and the Cougars ultimately edged the Buffs 24 to 21. Despite the tough loss, Coach Deion Sanders remained optimistic, reflecting on missed chances and acknowledging, in his words, that sometimes the moment just feels a bit too big for the team. The Buffs now look to regroup after dropping to two and three on the season, while Boulder’s ever-passionate football crowd gets ready for the next chapter at Folsom Field.
    Looking to get out and enjoy Boulder’s creative side today? Head downtown for Bimmer Torres’ artist talk, Experiments in Public Art, happening this afternoon from three to five at 1000 Canyon Boulevard. Expect an illuminating look at how public spaces can transform with creativity and a chance to mingle with some of Boulder’s most imaginative minds. If you lean toward hands-on activities, the Altered Book Journal Workshop kicks off at Open Studios Gallery in Boulder Junction. Whether you’re a seasoned maker or trying your hand at creative journaling for the first time, this workshop promises both inspiration and a welcoming community vibe.
    Music lovers can extend their weekend at Roots Music Project tonight, where acclaimed folk-rock duo Jackopierce will take the stage for an evening of intimate harmonies starting at eight. If you want to keep the entertainment rolling, the Boulder Theater hosts the much-anticipated comedy show Hairy Situation starring ALOK. It’s guaranteed to spark both laughter and conversation, with Westword and Rocky Mountain Equality presenting.
    Sports fans can catch some early action this morning as CU’s Men’s Club Soccer Gold squad faces Colorado Mesa at Kittredge Field. If you’re seeking a bit of wonder, Fiske Planetarium is open with immersive shows throughout the day, the perfect way to cap off your Sunday or entertain visiting friends and family.
    For those who simply want to take in the view, the Flatirons are putting on their own show this morning, bathed in autumn sun and perfect for a hike or just an easy stroll around Boulder’s scenic trails.

    Kicking things off downtown, today is the final day of the vibrant Street Wise Mural Festival—and if you’re a fan of street art or just want a splash of color and inspiration, don't miss the guided walking tours and bike tours running throughout the day. Local artists have transformed alleys and walkways into a gallery that reflects Boulder’s creativity and spirit. Whether you’re exploring murals on foot or by bike, you’ll discover stories behind each piece and the heartbeat of Boulder’s art scene. The festival is both family-friendly and perfect for curious explorers. Tours run today, so grab your spot and get out there.
    Just a short walk away, the Boulder Farmer’s Market on 13th Street is bustling with fresh fall produce and local goods this morning, but there’s an extra dose of energy today. From 9 AM to noon, the RFK Jr. Rally is underway, bringing crowds and conversation to the heart of town. Whether you’re interested in policy or simply want to soak up the local buzz, it’s a great place to mix your veggies with a little democratic action.
    Later this afternoon, if you’ve got a sports itch, Boulder United FC faces off against Peak XI FC in Mountain Premier League play. The match kicks off at 2 PM at Louisville Middle School. It’s always electric when these local clubs compete, so grab your jersey and head out for some grassroots soccer action. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual spectator, it’s a great way to connect with Boulder’s passionate soccer community.
    If your Saturday night calls for big laughs, the Boulder Theater in the heart of downtown is hosting comedian Mark Normand’s special taping for his Ya Don’t Say Tour. Both shows tonight are close to selling out, which should come as no surprise—Normand’s sharp, witty style has delighted Boulder's crowds before. Whether you snag an early seat or a spot in the late show, you’re in for a memorable night of comedy. And don’t forget, the theater’s calendar is packed with everything from indie music to film screenings all month long, so keep an eye out for more live entertainment.
    For those who want to give back while enjoying Boulder’s big outdoors, Saturday is also National Public Lands Day. Volunteers will gather at Hall Ranch for trail work starting at 10 AM.

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 24th, 2025.
    We start with news that brought relief across our community. The 16-year-old girl at the center of this week's Amber Alert was found safe yesterday.

  • Boulder Weekend Recap: Buffs Football, PorchFest, and Community Assembly Highlights
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, September 22, 2025.
    The weekend was unforgettable here in Boulder, with the Colorado Buffaloes electrifying Folsom Field on Saturday night, delivering a 37 to 20 win over Wyoming. Quarterback Kaidon Salter led the charge, passing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, filling the stands and the city with Buff pride. The crowd of more than fifty thousand fans wore their black and gold as the Buffs proved once again they are a force this season. Looking ahead, excitement is already building for next weekend’s home clash against BYU, so get ready for another round of community-wide spirit.
    Family Weekend wrapped up yesterday, bringing parents, siblings, and loved ones together from Thursday through Sunday. From family architecture tours to open rec and meditation on campus, the Buffs Stampede 5K Fun Run brought everyone out for a healthy start, followed by the Family Sendoff Brunch to close the festivities with new memories made.
    If sports weren’t your scene, Mapleton Hill’s PorchFest turned 30 neighborhood porches into stages for more than 40 bands. Locals strolled the leafy streets, sampling tunes from indie folk to jazz, with food trucks and friendly conversations at every turn. PorchFest is a pure encapsulation of Boulder’s creative, community-driven spirit.
    And for neighbors with big ideas, Boulder’s inaugural Community Assembly brought residents together Saturday to talk about ways to make our city more walkable, sustainable, and connected. The focus was on building so-called “15-minute neighborhoods” where errands, schools, and recreation are just a short stroll or bike ride away. It’s another example of Boulder's vision for a more vibrant and accessible community.
    Tonight, astronomy fans can celebrate the autumn equinox with Astronomy on Tap at the Rayback Collective. Join local astronomers starting at 6 PM for an evening of cosmic conversation, where the sun’s journey officially welcomes fall to the northern hemisphere.

  • Saturday in Boulder: Sunrise, Cars, Coins, and Buffs
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, September 20, 2025.
    If you’re up early, step outside and catch the sunrise hitting the Flatirons, always a stunning sight from across Boulder. Today’s weather promises a mix of late summer warmth and a hint of early fall crispness, so it’s a perfect day to get out and about.
    Start your morning with coffee, cars, and community at the Shelby American Collection. Their Cars and Coffee event runs from 7 to 9 a.m., so you’ll see an eclectic lineup of classic vehicles and meet fellow enthusiasts. It’s a free gathering, making it a favorite for auto fans and families alike.
    Once you’ve had your fill of caffeine and chrome, head to the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont where the Front Range Coin Club Show opens at 9 a.m. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply curious about rare coins and currency, there’s plenty to discover. Over in the fairgrounds’ Barn A later today, the Roller Derby Beast Brawl Tournament rolls out. Expect high-energy competition and some very passionate local athletes.
    Art lovers can head over to East Window Gallery in Boulder for the Shadows Gather photo exhibition, called “The Archives: 2019–Now.” The show features more than 2,000 Instax photos documenting Colorado's queer, punk, and underground scenes, with many images making their public debut.
    Sports fans, pay attention to Folsom Field tonight—Colorado hosts Wyoming in NCAA Football, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. Not only is this a crucial home game, but there’s extra excitement as CU debuts its brand-new live buffalo mascot. The tradition of Ralphie runs strong in Boulder, making this matchup even more memorable for local fans cheering on the Buffs.
    If you’re looking for live music, swing by the Fox Theatre on 13th Street. Boulder’s legendary venue offers an ever-rotating calendar of acts, and tonight you can catch touring and local bands showcasing everything from indie rock to reggae. It’s always a lively crowd and a great spot to unwind on a Saturday night.

  • Boulder's Budget Battles, Michelin Moments, and Community Connections
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, September 18th. As Boulder greets another crisp day, the city is buzzing with important updates and plenty of things to do.
    Let’s start with the news on Boulder’s future. The city’s proposed budget for 2026 is out, and it’s stirring up conversations. Facing a 7.5 million dollar shortfall, Boulder is looking to trim some programs and positions, including paramedics and street outreach teams. New fees for parking, utilities, recreation, and even home demolitions may soon hit residents. If you want to have your voice heard, mark October 9th for the public hearing on this budget proposal. Every detail is being debated, and even small tweaks could tip the balance, so councilmembers and the community are watching closely.
    On the sustainability front, Boulder is considering banning graywater reuse systems, despite state efforts to make them more common as Colorado faces mounting drought pressure. Graywater is lightly used water from showers and laundry that can be reused for things like flushing toilets. While state policy pushes for adoption by 2026, city staff say creating a local oversight program may be too complex—so keep an eye on this as Boulder decides whether to opt out.
    Boulder’s food scene is having a Michelin moment. The 2025 Michelin Guide recognized local favorites, with Cozobi Fonda Fina earning a Bib Gourmand and Frasca keeping its star, while some chefs picked up Green Stars for sustainability. Still, the landscape shifts with closures of High Country and Bitty and Beau’s Coffee, but new arrivals are turning heads—Call Your Mother bagels and Khao Soi Thai in Lafayette are making a splash, and Kinship Bread’s sourdough is getting rave reviews.
    Do you own a home and want to save on your bills? There’s a free webinar today at noon all about maximizing federal tax credits for upgrades like heat pumps, insulation, and windows. Credits up to thirty-two hundred dollars are on the table, but they expire at the end of 2025.
    For those needing housing support, Boulder County residents can enter the Housing Choice Voucher lottery now through tomorrow night. If your household earns at or below half the area median income and you’re over eighteen, check out the Denver Housing Authority’s site to apply for the chance to bring down rent costs.
    History buffs, tonight is a treat: Silvia Pettem, Boulder’s renowned historian, will speak at the Museum of Boulder from six to eight about Mary Rippon, CU’s first female professor who kept her family secret to protect her academic career. Free admission for museum members and SNAP cardholders.
    For live events, the Boulder Chamber calendar is packed. There’s the “World of Abstract” art show opening, community networking happy hours, and tomorrow, the United Way’s Day of Caring connects hundreds of volunteers for service projects countywide. Music lovers should look for Jackopierce’s folk-rock harmonies on stage, or the stirring performance wi

  • "Fall Colors, Creative Connections, and Buffs Buzz: A Boulder Morning Update"
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 17th. If you’re waking up with those iconic Flatirons looming outside your window, you know it’s a Boulder kind of day. The sun is glancing off the famous red-tiled roofs of the University of Colorado campus, those historic buildings crafted from local sandstone, and students are finding their way down tree-lined paths, maybe catching a glimpse of Green Mountain promising adventure after class. Mother Nature is putting on her usual show and Boulder is ready for another lively autumn day.
    Let’s dive into what’s happening around town. Boulder County Open Space is welcoming folks to celebrate the changing season, with group hikes and indoor programs perfect for exploring the vibrant fall colors and native flora.

If you prefer your autumn adventure from indoors or want trail recommendations, their special activity programs have you covered, just remember to register ahead.
    If your evening calls for creativity, head to the Junkyard Social Club, Boulder’s ever-inventive event space. Tonight’s highlight is Speed Networking for Creatives, running from six to eight. It’s a chance for artists, makers, and all sorts of idea people to connect, collaborate, and maybe spark the next big Boulder project. For the night owls, check out their full lineup of events this week—from open mics to dance sessions—because there’s rarely a dull moment at the Junkyard.
    For those hopping online, Boulder’s own virtual game night rolls out the fun this evening with trivia, charades, and drawing games. Hosted by Let’s Roam, it’s the perfect way to unwind and meet new people, or just show off your random fact knowledge and artistic skills.
    Sports fans, the Buffs are gearing up for an important game this Saturday against Wyoming, with Coach Deion Sanders leading the charge and keeping the lineup under wraps. Excitement is buzzing around campus after rapper Ice Cube dropped by practice yesterday to share some motivational wisdom. The energy is high as the Buffs look to break out of their current rut, and there’s plenty of talk about leadership and consistency from Coach Sanders.
    Looking north, there was an incident at firearms training in Weld County yesterday, where two sheriff’s deputies sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Local law enforcement has reassured residents that there’s no risk to the public, and the situation is under investigation.
    Meanwhile, the Conference on World Affairs is kicking off its volunteer meeting today at CU Boulder—a great opportunity to get involved and rub shoulders with thought leaders.
    Before you jump into your day, don’t miss those Flatirons this morning. The sunlight hitting that stone is a reminder of why we all love calling Boulder home, whether you’re a lifelong resident

  • Wildfire Threatens Boulder, Music Soothes Nerves, and Aurora Lights Up the Skies
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, September 15, 2025.
    If you stepped outside early this morning, you likely noticed the distinctly smoky skies over Boulder. This is due to a wildfire that broke out just west of town late last night, and crews have spent the night and early morning fighting to keep flames from spreading into more populated neighborhoods. Evacuation orders are in effect in several areas to the west, and residents are being urged to keep an eye out for emergency updates. While the air quality remains poor and the scent of smoke is thick, firefighters say that cooler morning temperatures are helping with containment. If you or your neighbors need to evacuate, local volunteer groups and the Boulder Office of Emergency Management have set up shelters and are ready to assist those affected.
    This wildfire is a reminder of why Boulder's city council campaigns are laser-focused on wildfire risk and mitigation this year. Candidates are promising everything from stricter wildfire safety rules for new and old homes to expanded rebates for people making their houses more fire-resistant. Issues like crime and traffic safety have faded into the background for the moment, though city data does show that while property crimes and car theft are down, violent incidents and drug offenses saw a bump earlier this year.
    On a lighter note, if you are looking for music to soothe your nerves tonight, singer-songwriter Mat Kearney brings his mellow vibes to Chautauqua Auditorium at 7:30. Doors open at 6:30, so grab a sweater and arrive early for a classic Boulder concert night. If you missed out on last night’s Gold Hill Inn show with Bonnie Sims and Lucy Moore, mark your calendar for folk artist Micki Balder this Wednesday, or check the Gold Hill Inn’s website for a full lineup of intimate Americana, bluegrass, and jazz performances running through the fall. These events are a great way to support our local music scene—plus, after the stress of the fire, music under the stars could be just what we need.
    For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s a cautionary tale from just west of Nederland, where a snowboarder was rescued yesterday after falling nearly 100 feet down Skyscraper Glacier. Thanks to a skilled joint effort from rescue teams, the man was airlifted to safety by evening. As temperatures start to dip and autumn approaches, remember to stay alert and prepared in the high country.
    With the wild weather and even wilder skies, a heads up to stargazers: a strong geomagnetic storm means aurora activity could be intense tonight. If the smoke clears, look north—there’s a good chance of spotting unusual celestial colors dancing over the mountains.
    That’s your local snapshot for today. Whether you’re lending a hand to neighbors, catching a concert, or just taking a minute to look up at the stars, Boulder’s community resilience is what keeps this place special.
