Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, December 20. After a wild week of high winds, power shutoffs, and close calls with fire, Boulder is bouncing back strong today, with Open Space and Mountain Parks reopening at 9 a.m. so you can hit the trails and breathe in that fresh foothill air, power permitting. Xcel Energy's second planned outage hit hard yesterday, affecting over 21,000 customers here amid 100-plus mph gusts that snapped power lines, toppled trees, and even damaged a Longmont climbing gym roof, but quick work by Boulder Fire-Rescue contained small blazes like the Euclid Avenue fence fire before they spread, keeping everyone safe. Lessons from last year's chaos paid off with better notices and prep, from senior homes like Frasier Meadows running generators for their holiday party to the wastewater plant staying online, though shelters served cold meals by headlamp. Now, with power restoring and a free downtown parking holiday through Christmas Eve to boost local shops and eateries hit by closures, the city is urging us to support our neighbors, because these outages highlight the real push for underground lines and grid fixes amid growing fire risks.

Shift into holiday cheer, folks, because today's packed with feel-good events that capture Boulder's vibrant spirit. Head to Fiske Planetarium at 7 p.m. for Solstice by Candlelight, a mesmerizing mix of seasonal music and ancient skywatching traditions during the longest night, tickets $20 for adults and $15 for youth, perfect for pondering the stars after our windy drama. Over in Longmont at Boulder County Fairgrounds, dive into the Last Chance Gift Fest starting at 10 a.m., with 170 vendors offering unique local finds till 6 p.m., a lifesaver for procrastinators wanting to snag artisanal treasures without the big-box rush. Avanti Food and Beverage on Pearl Street Mall hosts a Holiday and Craft Show, blending eats with handmade goodies amid the festive buzz. If you're pedaling strong, join Full Cycle's Saturday Road Ride at 9 a.m. for a group spin through recovering roads, waiver required. Music lovers, catch Uprooting Qahr with live tunes, film, and monologues at Junkyard Social Club from 3 p.m., channeling creative energy. And wrap up the Holiday Handmade Gift Market at Crystal Castle Beads, open till 3 p.m. with bracelet-making and free wrapping.

These events aren't just fun, they're lifelines connecting us after the storm, fueling local makers and reminding us why Boulder's community shines brightest in tough times. Stay safe out there, check road updates like closures on US 36, and embrace the solstice magic. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, December eighteenth.

Boulder is waking up today still shaking off the impacts of those powerful winds that roared through yesterday, with gusts topping 100 miles an hour in some spots and even shattering car windows around town. Crews are out early clearing debris and working to restore power, but the outages are widespread enough that Boulder Valley School District has closed all schools for the day, including before and after school care and enrichment. If you have students with finals this week, the district says missed exams will be pushed into the first week of January, so today is officially an unexpected snow day without the snow.

If you are on the roads, give yourself extra time. Emergency managers have been warning about downed limbs, scattered debris, some dark traffic signals, and higher demands on first responders. Treat any dark intersections like four way stops, and steer clear of any downed power lines.

For those still looking to get out of the house, Boulder’s community calendar is far from shut down. Early birds in tech can head to the Boulder AI and machine learning holiday meetup this morning, a chance to network, swap year end ideas, and maybe show off that questionable holiday sweater. Later in the morning, families with little ones can look toward toddler friendly story time offerings around the region if they need to burn some energy indoors.

On campus, CU Boulder’s Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research is hosting its INSTAAR coffee hour from two to three this afternoon out at the East Campus on Discovery Drive, promising hot coffee, tea, and at least one box of Voodoo doughnuts, plus a relaxed space to connect with researchers and students.

As evening rolls in, the Dairy Arts Center on Walnut becomes a hub for local culture. The film My Sunshine screens at seven, while the production Four Rational People offers a late afternoon performance, giving you options for both an early outing and a night at the theater without leaving town.

Regional holiday events continue across the Front Range, from light displays and markets to concerts and last chance gift fests, so if your power is out and you need a change of scenery, you have plenty of excuses to explore.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, December seventeenth.

Boulder is waking up under a Red Flag warning today, with strong, gusty winds expected along the Front Range and the potential for Xcel Energy public safety power shutoffs affecting parts of the city and CU Boulder between late morning and early evening. That means you may see outages starting late morning, so charge your devices now, keep fridge doors closed if the power does go out, and allow extra time on the roads as blowing debris and downed branches could slow things down. Campus facilities and businesses are preparing to stay flexible, so check ahead before you head out.

Those winds are not stopping the Buffs. CU men’s basketball is still scheduled to tip off tonight at seven at the CU Events Center, hosting Portland State. Fans are being urged to use caution traveling to the game and to watch for any last minute updates, since organizers have a backup plan to bump the game to tomorrow morning if conditions force a change. If you are going, plan for delays and give yourself some extra time to get parked, through the doors, and into your seats.

If live music is more your style, downtown is getting festive tonight as Boulder based Face Vocal Band brings its Rock the Halls holiday show to the Boulder Theater at seven thirty. Expect big a cappella harmonies and reimagined holiday classics, and expect a crowd, because this one is close to sold out. It is a high energy way to lean into the season without leaving town.

For something a little more hands on and low key, the Junkyard Social Club is hosting a Community Craft Night this evening from six to eight thirty. It is a creative, come as you are space that welcomes families, makers, and anyone who just wants to tinker, glue, and chat with neighbors.

If your idea of unwinding is more about steam and snowmelt, Ember and Ice on Arapahoe is holding its Sisters Sauna Night at seven, a women centered sauna and cold plunge evening with mountain views and a strong community vibe. Reservations are recommended.

And for those willing to venture a bit beyond city limits, Cool Boulder is spotlighting midday farm gleaning over in Lafayette, where volunteers can help harvest extra produce for local food programs, a reminder that local agriculture and food security keep our region resilient through winter.

Windy, busy, and full of choices, that is Boulder today. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, December 15, 2025.

As Boulder wakes up, skies are seasonably cold and clear across the Front Range, so plan for a crisp start and a milder afternoon as the sun climbs over the Flatirons. Trails are mostly in good shape, but with freeze and thaw cycles, expect some slick, icy patches on shaded sections of Mount Sanitas, Chautauqua, and along Boulder Creek, so microspikes are a smart call if you are heading out early.

If you are with little ones this morning, the Boulder Public Library’s Reynolds branch is hosting its Toddler Explorers program from 10:15 to 10:45, a short, hands on session that helps kids get comfortable in the library while giving caregivers a chance to connect with one another. It is a simple thing, but it is part of the city’s broader push to make our libraries true community hubs, from early literacy to maker spaces.

Tonight, if you are looking to get moving, the Avalon Ballroom on Arapahoe is home base for the Boulder Dance Coalition’s Scandinavian Weekly Dance. From 7:30 to 10 p.m., dancers of all levels can learn Swedish couple dances and perfect their hambo pivot, no partner required, just seven dollars at the door and a willingness to spin. Events like this keep one of Boulder’s longest running folk communities thriving while giving newcomers an easy way in after a day at the office or on the trails.

On the civic front, local organizers with Rise Up Boulder are planning an overpass protest this afternoon from 3:45 to 5 p.m. at Highway 36 and 88th. Demonstrations like this have become a regular part of how Boulderites show up on regional and national issues, a reminder that even freeway overpasses can double as public squares.

Boulder’s Jewish community is also gathering with a mix of grief and resolve after the deadly Hanukkah attack at a beach celebration in Sydney, Australia. Local rabbis and community leaders have been calling for continued public Hanukkah observances, including candle lightings on Pearl Street, as an act of solidarity and resilience, emphasizing that adding light, not retreating from it, is the response to antisemitic violence.

Sports fans, circle tomorrow: the CU Buffs men’s basketball team puts its home win streak on the line at the Events Center as they host Northern Colorado. Both teams come in with strong early season records, and a weekday matchup like this is a good chance for students and locals to fill the stands and keep that home court edge alive.

And if you are already thinking ahead to the weekend, keep an eye on live music up the hill at the Gold Hill Inn, where December shows will bring folk, Americana, and holiday concerts to that historic mountain venue, turning a winter night into something a little more magical.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, December thirteenth.

It is a crisp Front Range morning, and Boulder is leaning hard into the heart of the holiday season, with a mix of big community traditions, arts events, and some noteworthy local news.

We start with public safety and a story that has shaped Boulder’s identity for nearly three decades. Boulder Police have released their latest annual update on the JonBenét Ramsey murder investigation, nearly twenty nine years after the six year old was found killed in her Boulder home. Investigators say the case remains a top priority, with new evidence collected over the past year, older evidence retested using updated DNA technology, and additional interviews conducted. Police are again urging anyone with information to come forward, underscoring that even after all this time, they are still working to bring resolution to the community and to the family.

If you are ready to get out and enjoy the city today, Chautauqua’s WinterFest is in full swing. Up at the historic Chautauqua campus, you will find horse drawn carriage rides, a cozy holiday market, live music, festive food and drinks, craft making, cookie decorating, and a winter fairy forest for the kids. It is one of Boulder’s most beloved holiday weekends, and a great way to feel that old fashioned mountain town charm right at the edge of the Flatirons.

For the arts crowd, there is plenty on stage in town. At the Dairy Arts Center, the play Every Brilliant Thing continues its run, blending humor and heart in a story about finding reasons to love life, even in the midst of hardship. Over at New Vista High School, the Brown Sugar Nutcracker reimagines Tchaikovsky’s classic with belly dance, samba, and hip hop, turning a familiar holiday ballet into something fresh, modern, and very Boulder.

Sports fans have a good excuse to head to campus this afternoon. The Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team host UTSA at the CU Events Center, with tipoff just after two o’clock. Colorado comes in eight and one and undefeated at home, looking to bounce back from a close loss on the road, so you can expect an energetic crowd and up tempo play.

And if you are looking for something a little more offbeat tonight, the Junkyard Social Club is hosting an evening comedy show, with doors and a preshow DJ set starting around seven. It is a very Boulder blend of art space, playground, and performance venue, and a fun option for adults who still like to feel like kids.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 10.

If you’re looking to do some good today, the American Red Cross is making a special call for blood donors across the Front Range this month, and it’s especially urgent right now. With winter weather on the way and holiday schedules in full swing, local blood supplies are feeling the squeeze. The Red Cross is urging anyone who’s eligible to roll up a sleeve and give, especially those with O positive, O negative, and B negative blood types. There’s a big blood drive coming up on December 16 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, but there are also opportunities closer to home, including one at the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office later this week. If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is a great time to schedule that appointment and help keep our community’s blood supply strong.

On a lighter note, if you’ve ever wondered how a Boulder police officer unwinds after a tough shift, here’s a fun twist: one local cop has taken to the comedy stage as a way to cope with the stresses of the job. That’s right, standup comedy has become an unexpected outlet for this officer, using humor to process the challenges of police work and connect with the community in a whole new way. It’s a reminder that even in high-pressure jobs, finding healthy ways to decompress can make a real difference.

Back on campus, CU Boulder is getting ready to welcome everyone back to the newly renovated Hellems Arts and Sciences building. After more than two years of work, the historic building is reopening with modern, student-focused spaces, improved accessibility, and a serious commitment to sustainability. The upgrades are expected to cut energy use by nearly 70 percent, which is a big win for both the environment and the campus budget. Faculty are moving in this month, and students will return to the building when the spring semester starts in January.

And for those already in full holiday mode, the Boulder JCC is lighting up the season with a packed lineup of Chanukah events, from family concerts and menorah lightings to a night of standup comedy with some nationally known comics. It’s a great reminder that laughter, like latkes, is a holiday essential.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, December 7, 2025.

If you woke up wondering whether that storm in the high country delivered, the answer is a big yes. Some peaks just northwest of Nederland picked up more than 20 inches of new snow, with Eldora reporting over a foot, so skiers and riders heading west will find deep powder but also slick roads and chain laws in effect over the passes. Leave extra time and check conditions before you go, especially around Berthoud and Rabbit Ears, which were among the snowier spots in the state.

Here in town, it is all about holiday lights, music, and markets. Downtown Boulder is glowing with the Snow Much Fun light displays, with hundreds of thousands of LEDs along Pearl Street and through the Civic Area, turning an evening stroll into a full-on winter wonderland. If you are shopping or grabbing dinner downtown tonight, plan a lap past the Dushanbe Teahouse and Civic lawn to see some of the brightest installations.

On the arts front, the CU Holiday Festival continues at Macky Auditorium, bringing together campus choirs, bands, and orchestras for a big, classic holiday concert that has become a Boulder December staple. It is one of those events that pulls students, faculty, and longtime locals into the same room, and tickets tend to move quickly.

If you are in the mood for something more low-key and literary, Trident Booksellers and Cafe has an evening event on the calendar, a reminder that even during peak holiday chaos there is still room for local readings, small gatherings, and a good cup of coffee on Pearl. And the Boulder County Farmers Markets Winter Market is rolling at the fairgrounds in Longmont, with about 150 regional farmers, ranchers, food producers, and artisans. It is a great one-stop spot if you are aiming for a locally sourced holiday table or handmade gifts.

Sports fans have a bit of good news too. CU Buffs football wrapped up the early signing period by adding two more recruits to the 2026 class, including a four star athlete from IMG Academy and a defensive back from powerhouse Duncanville High in Texas, giving Colorado commitments from eight different states and more depth on both sides of the ball.

As always, keep an eye on local event pages to confirm times and any weather related changes as organizers adjust to the snow and holiday rush.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, December sixth.

If you are looking outside this morning, you already know winter has decided to show off. A strong storm system is dropping significant snow in Colorado’s northern and Front Range mountains this weekend, with higher elevations in the Steamboat and Front Range ranges expecting well over a foot of new powder. Mountain travel through Sunday will be slow and slick, so if you are heading to ski country, give yourself extra time, check chain laws, and be ready for rapidly changing conditions. Here in Boulder, that means a colder, snowier backdrop for everything on your calendar today, and some very happy skiers eyeing the next couple of days.

If you want to lean into the cozy vibe, one of the biggest seasonal draws for Boulder County is the Boulder County Farmers Markets Winter Market at the county fairgrounds in Longmont. Running today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it brings together around 150 local farmers, ranchers, food producers, and artisans. This is where you stock up on Colorado honey, late-season produce, holiday baked goods, and one-of-a-kind gifts, all while keeping your dollars in the local economy.

Back in town, Boulder is buzzing with arts and entertainment. At the Dairy Arts Center, the acclaimed play Every Brilliant Thing continues its run, offering a funny, intimate look at mental health and the everyday joys that keep us going. Over at CU Boulder, the 2025 Holiday Festival fills Macky Auditorium this afternoon with choirs, orchestra, and brass in one of the university’s most beloved annual concerts, perfect if you are ready to flip the switch into full holiday mode.

Tonight downtown, The Riverside on Broadway is hosting a family-friendly Dinner and a Movie Night from 6 to 9 p.m., an easy option if you want to get out without braving a long drive. Just a few blocks away, eTown Hall is taping a live show featuring Steve Poltz and Rachel Baiman, blending storytelling, music, and community radio all under one roof.

And for sports fans, the undefeated CU men’s basketball team is on the road in Fort Collins this afternoon for the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado State, tipping off just after 3. It is one of those rivalry games where bragging rights ripple through Boulder coffee shops and offices for weeks.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

We're starting this morning with a weather alert for anyone heading out on the roads. Colorado experienced a significant winter storm yesterday that dumped nearly a foot of snow across several parts of the state, and that's creating some treacherous conditions right now. Temperatures have plummeted into the single digits and teens along the Front Range, with wind chills making it feel even colder. If you're planning to commute this morning, officials are strongly recommending you wait until around nine o'clock when the sun comes up and conditions improve. Overnight, any wet or slushy roads are refreezing rapidly, and that's creating dangerous driving situations. Make sure you're bundled up and wearing layers because frostbite can develop in thirty minutes or less in these kinds of temperatures.

Now, switching gears to some fun holiday happenings around Boulder. Downtown is really shining right now with the holiday season in full swing. If you've got kids, there's the Snowflake Express running this Sunday and next Sunday from eleven in the morning to two in the afternoon. It's a magical ride on an electric train right down Pearl Street, and it's just five dollars per group with a suggested donation. While you're downtown, you can grab a stamp for the Downtown Dash program, which runs through the end of December and gives you chances to win prizes by shopping local and attending events.

Speaking of holiday events, if you're looking for some festive fun this weekend, St. Nick on the Bricks is happening Saturday and again the following Saturday from eleven to two at the Downtown Boulder Visitor Information Center. Free photos with Santa and a holiday atmosphere, with a suggested ten dollar donation per group. Then on Saturday, December thirteenth, bundle up for the Lights of December Parade at six in the evening. It's a beloved community tradition with dazzling floats from local businesses and nonprofits, and of course, Santa makes an appearance at the grand finale.

Looking ahead next week, Chanukah on Pearl is happening Monday, December fifteenth at five thirty in the evening. Boulder County's largest outdoor Menorah lighting, plus live music, traditional treats, and hot chocolate. It's free and welcoming to families and friends of all ages.

If you're more of a music lover, tonight at seven o'clock Trace Bundy is performing his Acoustic Holiday show at the Boulder Theater with Emma Harner, and tickets start at thirty-seven dollars.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.

We're starting this Wednesday with some exciting news for families in our community. The Emergency Family Assistance Association, or EFAA, just announced it received a five million dollar grant from the Bezos Day One Families Fund. This is huge for Boulder. The funding will help EFAA double its capacity to shelter families experiencing homelessness, with plans to support over three hundred families on a path toward long-term housing stability. EFAA executive director Debbie Pope says this grant is an important opportunity to strengthen Boulder's safety net and provide a model for nonprofits across the country on how to address homelessness. The organization will launch a new program called EFAA Pathways that expands existing housing programs and includes wraparound services like financial coaching and family strengthening programming. Of thirty-two grant recipients nationwide, EFAA was the only Colorado nonprofit selected this year, making this a real point of pride for our community.

Speaking of community transformation, we're also keeping an eye on Casey Middle School, where principal Bryant Shaw has been working to rebuild the school's culture. Shaw, a former professional football player, is bringing a systems-based approach that's already showing results. Academic growth has rebounded, with math scores at their highest level in nearly a decade for all student groups. Suspensions have dropped dramatically from thirty-seven in twenty twenty-two to just thirteen last year. The overall atmosphere has shifted so noticeably that families who previously steered their kids elsewhere are reconsidering Boulder Valley Schools.

Now, looking at your Wednesday ahead, we do need to talk weather. A winter weather advisory is in effect until six p-m tonight. The heaviest snow is expected between three and ten a-m, right during the morning commute. Denver is looking at four to seven inches overall, so give yourself extra time getting around town and drive carefully. CDOT reminds us that freezing ice may be hiding under light snow cover in some areas.

If you're looking for something to do tonight, the Dairy Arts Center has performances running through the week, and Boulder Theater is hosting KT Tunstall on Saturday night. Plus, the Denver Christkindlmarket is in full swing through December twenty-third if you're in the mood for holiday festivities.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, December 1st, 2025. The sun is up, and there’s plenty happening across our vibrant city today. If you’re a basketball fan, you’re in for a treat—tonight’s game at the CU Events Center is a real showdown, with Colorado hosting Cal Baptist in a rare undefeated matchup. Both teams are 7-0, so expect a packed house and some serious energy as the Buffs look to extend their home win streak. Tip-off is at 9 p.m., and this one could be a classic.

For those who prefer a little mystery with their Monday, Boulder is serving up not one but two murder mystery events downtown. The Outdoor Mystery Escape Games are hosting their Boulder Murder Mystery, and there’s also Boulder After Dark: Solve the Murder Mystery, both happening at 1333 Pearl Street. Whether you’re a sleuth at heart or just looking for a fun night out with friends, these interactive games are a great way to flex your detective skills and maybe even win a prize.

If you’re more into arts and culture, the True West Awards are kicking off today, spotlighting some of the most talented actors and directors in the Denver area. It’s a celebration of creativity and hard work, and it’s a reminder of how much Boulder and its neighbors contribute to the region’s vibrant arts scene.

For professionals, the Business Growth Network Leads Group is meeting up, offering a chance to connect, share ideas, and grow your network. And if you’re looking for something a little more laid-back, the Boulder Chamber Running Club is always a great way to start the week with some fresh air and friendly faces.

And don’t forget, the Fiske Planetarium is open with shows that’ll take you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space, while the Dairy Arts Center is hosting a variety of performances and exhibits for all ages.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.

We're starting this Sunday with some exciting sports action happening right here in Boulder. The Colorado women's basketball team is back home today at the CU Events Center, taking on Montana State at one o'clock this afternoon. The Buffs are coming in with a solid five and two record, while Montana State brings a four and one record to town. If you're looking to catch the game, tickets are running between fifteen and forty dollars, and you can also stream it live on ESPN Plus. The women's team will have another home game just two days away on Tuesday when they host the College of Charleston at seven in the evening.

Speaking of things to do around Boulder today, we've got plenty of options for you whether you're into culture, entertainment, or just getting out of the house. The Boulder Ballet is performing the Nutcracker this afternoon at two o'clock at Macky Auditorium. Tickets range from twenty five to one hundred thirty five dollars if you want to experience that holiday classic. If you're more into mystery and adventure, there are a couple of outdoor escape game experiences happening downtown on Pearl Street this afternoon as well. For those looking for something a bit different, there's also a theatrical performance called Daisy Violet the Bitch Beast King happening at the Dairy at two o'clock, with tickets starting at seventeen dollars.

And here's something for the folks who love trains and nostalgia, the Rocky Mountain Train Show Holiday Edition is steaming into nearby Loveland today and tomorrow, so if you're willing to venture just south of Boulder, it's family friendly fun for everyone.

We should also mention that Colorado got some significant snow in the mountains over the weekend, with some passes seeing over ten inches of powder. While Boulder itself only saw a dusting, with about a third of an inch, the ski resorts are thanking Mother Nature for that fresh snow after a slow start to the season. More snow is expected in the mountains later today as well.

So whether you're catching the Buffs game, enjoying some holiday entertainment, or just enjoying this Sunday in Boulder, there's plenty happening in our community. Stay warm out there, and don't forget about Tuesday's women's basketball game against Charleston.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.

We're in the thick of the holiday season here in Boulder, and there's plenty happening around town to get you in the festive spirit. If you're looking to support local businesses, today is Small Business Saturday, so consider shopping at independent retailers throughout Boulder for your holiday gift giving. It's a great way to keep money in our community while finding unique items you won't find anywhere else.

Speaking of unique experiences, the Boulder Ballet is performing The Nutcracker today at two o'clock this afternoon. It's that beloved holiday classic that never gets old, and it's the perfect outing if you're looking for some family-friendly entertainment.

The jamgrass legends will bring their signature energetic performance to town, so if you're a fan of their sound, that's worth checking out this evening.

For the sports enthusiasts tuning in, we've got some significant action on the horizon. The Colorado women's basketball team is gearing up for a historic matchup tomorrow, Sunday the 30th, at one o'clock in the afternoon at the CU Events Center. The Buffaloes will face Montana State for the first time in thirty years. It's a big moment for the program, so if you're a CU fan, that's definitely worth your calendar attention.

If you're in the mood for something more interactive and entertaining, Chester Monte's Murder Mystery is happening in Boulder today. It's a fun way to spend your Saturday afternoon with a twist on traditional entertainment.

As we head into the holiday shopping season this weekend, remember to stay safe out there, be mindful of your surroundings, and take time to enjoy these special moments with family and friends.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.

Happy Thanksgiving, Boulder. We're starting this holiday morning with perfect weather in your favor. Today brings sunshine and light winds with highs in the mid-50s, making it ideal for whatever adventures you've got planned, whether that's football watching or turkey feasting. Enjoy it while you can though, because Mother Nature is about to flip the switch. A strong cold front barrels in Friday night, ushering in our first real taste of winter this season. We're talking highs tumbling into the 20s and 30s through the weekend, with one or two rounds of light snow likely. Accumulations should stay modest, a few inches at most, but it'll be enough to finally break Boulder's snowflake drought.

If you're looking to get out this morning and do something meaningful, the Alpine Bank Boulder Thanksgiving Day 5K and Kids Fun Run is happening right now with a brand new downtown course connecting Pearl Street from West to East, finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in front of the courthouse. It's a BOLDDERBoulder qualifier and all proceeds benefit Harvest of Hope Pantry, which serves about 750 shoppers weekly and distributes an average of 3500 pounds of food each day.

Speaking of community giving, if you're interested in supporting Nederland's recovery efforts after the Caribou Village Fire, Comedy Works headliners Vinnie Montez, Nancy Norton, and John Novosad are hosting Stand Up for Nederland tomorrow night at the Dairy Arts Center. The fire tore through almost 20 businesses near downtown, though many have already reopened in new locations. Some businesses like Brightwood Music and Mountain Man Outdoor Store are already back in action, but others like Augustina's Winery and Tres Gringos are still working on their comeback.

On the policy front, Colorado's ethics commission is reviewing a complaint involving Boulder Senator Judy Amabile and Longmont Representative Karen McCormick, along with other members of the Opportunity Caucus. Watchdog group Common Cause Colorado questions whether a political nonprofit properly covered costs for a caucus retreat under the state's gift ban rules. The lawmakers say they relied on legal guidance and call the allegations inaccurate and politically motivated.

Looking ahead to next week, Boulder County is launching a new Grey to Green fund in December, offering grants up to 20000 dollars to turn paved or concrete areas into green landscapes. Applications open December 9th through February 3rd, 2026.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

As the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, Boulder is bustling with ways to connect, celebrate, and make the most of the season. For those planning the holiday ahead, a quick reminder: city offices, rec centers, and Age Well Centers will be closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving, with some closures extending into Friday, so double-check before heading out for any city services.

If you’ve got guests in town or just want to savor Boulder’s food scene, this is a prime week for culinary adventures. Local food writer John Lehndorff’s latest Boulder food itinerary is packed with recommendations that are sure to please everyone at your table and maybe even get your visitors out exploring. Check out a classic Celestial Seasonings tour to sniff the famous mint room, or embrace the mountain atmosphere at brunch on the Chautauqua Dining Hall porch. If you’re seeking something special, try an immersive meal at Dushanbe Teahouse or sample Boulder’s award-winning culinary institutions like Frasca Food and Wine, Blackbelly, or Zoe Ma Ma.

For a delicious step back in time, don’t miss the Boulder Eats exhibit at the Museum of Boulder, celebrating a century and a half of local food. And if you’re craving sips as well as bites, Boulder’s tasting rooms have you covered, from Boulder Spirits to Redstone Meadery, or even a local kava drink at The Root Kava Co. For those thinking ahead to host gifts or stocking stuffers, shops like Moksha Chocolate and The Peppercorn offer unique, local finds.

Looking for things to do today, especially with kids off from school or family in town? The Boulder Public Library’s makerspace BLDG 61 is open this afternoon for creative drop-in sessions. The University of Colorado is also hosting events—check their campus calendar for social hours and planetarium programs, many of them free and open to the public.

As the region eyes the future, calls are growing louder for the Northern Front Range passenger rail project to finally connect Boulder, Longmont, and Fort Collins by train. Local leaders see it as a boost for regional mobility, climate, and the economy, but negotiations are still ongoing, so it will be a few years before you can board a train to Denver or beyond.

If your holiday plans involve a trek to Longmont for shopping or burgers, be aware that In-N-Out has just opened there, causing some traffic around the Harvest Moon Drive area. If Costco is your destination, use South Martin Drive to avoid the gridlock.

Looking ahead, mark your calendar for the Winter Market at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont on December 6th and 7th, with more than 150 local farms and food artisans ready to help you make the season even tastier.

And finally, a shoutout to families built through adoption—last weekend was National Adoption Day, celebrated across Colorado. It’s a heartwarming reminder of the power of community and commitment, especially at this time of year.

That’s your rundown for today. However you’re celebrating this week, Boulder’s community spirit and vibrant local culture promise to keep things lively, welcoming, and delicious. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, November 24, 2025.

Looking out over Boulder this morning, the Flatirons are dusted in fresh powder from yesterday’s storm, with clear skies forecast for today. It's a picture-perfect start to Thanksgiving week as we head toward the holiday season. If you want to take it all in, tune into the Flatiron Cam live from Louisville for sweeping views, including the University of Colorado campus.

Downtown Boulder is still abuzz after yesterday’s annual Switch on the Holidays celebration. Hundreds gathered along Pearl Street Mall for the lighting ceremony, with local performances from Boulder Chorale and Boulder Ballet—and kids lined up to chat with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the festive glow of holiday lights. That energy carries into the coming weeks, as the Snow Much Fun light displays are now dazzling the Civic Area and historic Pearl Street, making evening strolls in downtown Boulder more magical than ever.

If you’re still hunting for holiday gifts, remember that Small Business Saturday kicks off in Boulder this week. Local shops all over town are featuring deals to encourage everyone to shop close to home and support the community, so keep your eye out for unique finds and limited-time specials. For entertainment tonight, the Boulder Theater sits at the heart of downtown, with a fresh lineup on the way. Upcoming shows include the bluegrass icons Leftover Salmon with Ronnie and Rob McCoury, and next month, singer-songwriter KT Tunstall takes the stage—so mark your calendars if you’re ready for a musical night out.

The University of Colorado campus is quieter today, with students heading out for fall break, but sports continue. Basketball season is heating up, and both men’s and women’s teams have games at the Coors Events Center through March. For families, the Boulder Public Library hosts in-person storytime at North Boulder this morning—bring little ones for books and songs to brighten their Monday.

While Boulder stays safe and peaceful, news from around Colorado reminds us to stay vigilant. After a weekend homicide investigation in Fruita, authorities say all suspects are in custody and there’s no ongoing threat to the community in western Colorado. On the weather front, expect mostly dry conditions for Boulder this week after yesterday’s snow, but skiers can look forward to a stormy outlook as we edge closer to December.

That wraps up today’s local highlights. Whether you’re catching a show, shopping local, or simply soaking in the lights along Pearl Street, Boulder is buzzing with activity and spirit. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, November 24th, 2025.

We're starting this week with plenty of holiday cheer already in the air after yesterday's Switch on the Holidays celebration brought downtown Boulder to life. If you missed the festivities on Pearl Street, you caught some incredible performances including Aspire Aerial Dance, TubaChristmas, and the Boulder Ballet performing pieces from the Nutcracker. The lighting ceremony at five twenty in the evening kicked off the holiday season as thousands of LED lights illuminated the Pearl Street Mall, the Civic Area, and around the Boulder County Courthouse. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand to help flip the switch, and families enjoyed the Downtown Boulder Cookie Crawl throughout the afternoon. The good news is that those beautiful light displays will be sticking around through mid-January, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to take a stroll and soak in that holiday atmosphere.

Speaking of things to do this week, the University of Colorado women's basketball team is off competing in Hawaii at the North Shore Invitational, but they've got games coming up that you can follow online. The Buffs face VCU today at five thirty PM Mountain Time, and then they'll take on Texas A&M tomorrow at five PM. It's been quite a start to the season for the team.

Looking ahead, there's plenty on the Boulder calendar to keep you busy. St. Nick on the Bricks starts this Friday with free visits from Santa at the Downtown Boulder Visitor Information Center. That runs through mid-December on Fridays and Saturdays. Small Business Saturday is coming up on November 29th, so mark your calendars to support local shops and businesses around town.

If you're looking for entertainment, the Boulder Theater has some great shows lined up. The 8th ATA Everest Global Nepali Film Award kicks off this Friday the 28th, and comedy fans should check out Brad Williams on Saturday the 29th as part of his Growth Spurt Tour.

Weather-wise, we're looking at times of clouds and some snow showers moving through through Thursday as systems track north of Colorado. It'll be cool, so bundle up if you're heading out on any of those activities.

For more details on any of these events and to stay updated on what's happening around Boulder, visit boulderdowntown.com or your local Boulder parks and recreation website.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 20, 2025.

We begin today with the continuing response to the recent Realization Fire up on Flagstaff Mountain. Boulder Fire-Rescue crews worked through the night and remain on the scene at Artist Point, monitoring hotspots and making sure the area stays safe. If you’re planning to hike, keep in mind that Artist Point and sections of the Boy Scout Trail are closed today while firefighters complete their suppression work. This follows a small but dramatic wildfire last night, which, thanks to fast-acting crews, has been fully contained. As always, the city reminds residents of increased fire risks this season and thanks everyone for staying alert and safe.

Looking ahead to the sky, Boulder may see a bit of moisture overnight with the possibility of light snow at higher elevations, but don’t expect much accumulation in town. Temperatures today will be mild for mid-November, with highs flirting with the upper 40s before dropping to the mid-20s tonight. While the snow outlook is weak for the northern mountains, keep those skis handy—there’s a chance for more action heading into the last days of the month.

For things to do around town, there’s no shortage of festive spirit or creative energy. Downtown Boulder is setting the stage for the holidays with Switch on the Holidays, bringing twinkling lights, pop-up entertainment, and plenty of seasonal cheer—a perfect backdrop if you’re out for an evening stroll or checking out local shops tonight.

If you’re seeking an artistic experience, head over to Macky Auditorium at 7 pm for CU Boulder Symphony Orchestra’s free “Formations and Friends” concert, featuring the renowned Fairview High School Chamber Orchestra. Enjoy Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations and a special piece by Professor Jeffrey Nytch. No tickets needed—just show up and soak in the music.

The Boulder Bookstore welcomes authors Rajiv Mohabir and Daniel Ruiz for a dual book talk at 6:30 this evening. Both writers will read from their new books and chat with attendees, making this a cozy option for book lovers looking to connect with local literary voices.

For movie buffs, Boulder Public Library’s Main Theater is hosting a film event from 6:30 to 9:30 tonight—feel free to drop by for a relaxed evening with the community. If games are your thing, you can join a friendly Drop-In Mahjongg session at Junkyard Social Club between 3:30 and 5:30.

On a more serious note, parents and community members are invited to a town hall tonight on the risks facing kids online, featuring Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and local leaders. The event aims to start important conversations about keeping children safe in the digital world.

And for a twist of excitement, Chester Monte’s Murder Mystery is happening tonight in Boulder—perfect if you’re looking to puzzle your way through a whodunit with friends.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

It’s a classic, crisp Boulder morning with the Flatirons visible beneath a cloudless sky and a hint of leftover smoke up in the foothills. Let’s start with breaking news: last night, a small wildfire broke out near Realization Point on Flagstaff Mountain. Boulder Fire-Rescue crews had water on the flames overnight, and by late last night, the fire was only about two acres in size and showing limited growth. No evacuation orders have been issued, and officials say that no structures are threatened at this time. If you’re hiking or biking in the area, expect to see some emergency crews and possibly a bit of lingering smoke, but so far things are looking stable.

Switching to local government and development news, Boulder County Commissioners have just voted 2-1 to move forward with selling the North Broadway Complex to ABMG, LLC for $26 million. The property, which includes the Iris Ballfields, will see changes in the coming years, but ABMG has promised to try to keep the Little League fields intact and potentially develop senior housing or congregate care on the site. Departments currently based at North Broadway will eventually relocate to Boulder’s new County Community Hub on 28th Street, aiming for greater energy efficiency and easier access for all residents.

Looking for something enriching at lunch today? In honor of Native American Heritage Month, CU’s University Libraries is holding an Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit Etymology Lunch and Learn at 1157 18th Street from noon to two. This event will explore queer Indigenous identities with Dr. Chris Finley from USC, and light snacks are provided.

Tonight, the creative heartbeat of Boulder is pulsing at Junkyard Social Club, which is hosting Community Craft Night from 6 to 8:30 p.m. All ages are welcome, so bring the family, grab a craft project, and join fellow makers for a fun, casual evening.

For live music lovers, head over to Nevei Kodesh at 1925 Glenwood Drive for Sommer Love Live with Erica Shapiro and RicoNekt. This concert runs from 7 to 10 tonight and promises an eclectic, soulful vibe.

If you’re thinking sports, CU’s volleyball team—ranked 21st in the country—hits the road for its final Big 12 trip of the regular season with a match against West Virginia at 4 p.m. The Buffs are coming off a nail-biter five-set win over TCU and have high hopes for the postseason.

And as Thanksgiving approaches, Boulder’s vegan food scene is ramping up. Farmers markets and grocers are stocked with late-fall produce, from squash to apples. Local bakeries like Shamane’s Bake Shoppe and Kim and Jake’s Cakes are prepping seasonal vegan treats, giving everyone delicious options for a plant-powered holiday feast. Don’t forget, many Boulderites like to start their holiday with a sunrise stroll around Wonderland Lake or Chautauqua—so plan some fresh air before the food festivities begin.

That’s your snapshot of Boulder today—vibrant, active, and full of possibilities whether you want to connect, create, cheer, or just take in those iconic views.

The week is off to a brisk start here in Boulder and whether you’re bundling up to soak in the golden foothills or looking for something cozy indoors, the community calendar is buzzing. Tonight, all eyes are on the CU Events Center where the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team puts their undefeated streak to the test against Alabama State. Tipoff is at 7:01 p.m. If you haven’t grabbed tickets yet, there’s still time and the atmosphere should be electric. The Buffs have been firing on all cylinders this season, coming off a thrilling 97-88 victory over Providence with contributions from standout freshmen like Alon Michaeli and Isaiah Johnson. The offense is rolling with an average of over 94 points a game, so expect plenty of high-paced action and some fresh talent from the bench. If you can’t make it in person, catch the play-by-play on ESPN Plus or tune in locally on KOA radio.

Maybe movement with music is more your style this evening? The Embodied Earthwalk Movement Experience welcomes all at 5 p.m. tonight for a guided exploration of somatics and dance, inviting participants to release stress and rediscover their vitality. It’s a great chance to connect with others who want to shake off the Monday blues and get grounded as we head into the colder months.

If you’re craving a more classical vibe, the CU Philharmonia Orchestra presents Tributes and Transformations in concert at 7:30 p.m. Expect a showcase of both classic and contemporary pieces, a perfect way to cap a Monday with some cultural enrichment.

For those looking for hands-on creative inspiration, Roots Music Project kicks off a Contemporary Vocal Style Workshop at 6:30 p.m. tonight. Whether you’re a shower singer or stage regular, it’s a chance to expand your vocal toolkit with local experts.

Looking ahead, stargazers have a treat this week as the waning crescent Beaver Moon shares the early morning sky with the bright star Spica. The Leonid meteor shower is ramping up too, so set your alarm early if you want to catch some celestial fireworks before dawn.
