Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8, 2025.
We’re kicking off your weekend in Boulder with fall in full swing and plenty of ways to enjoy the mix of crisp air and community spirit. If you’re looking for something to perk up your Saturday, start your morning at the Boulder Public Library for the Children’s Book Festival, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The festival is completely free and brings in renowned authors including Salina Yoon and Rita Williams-Garcia for readings, book signings, activities for kids, and panels for educators. It’s a perfect spot for families and anyone hoping to foster a love of reading in young Boulder's minds. There’s also free parking, taking one thing off your busy-parent checklist.
For sports fans, the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team faces off against Eastern Washington at the CU Events Center. Tip-off is at 2:01 p.m. and you can catch the excitement either in the stands or on ESPN Plus. The Buffs are looking to build momentum after their season opener and the city is abuzz to see how the team’s chemistry holds up against the Eagles.
Art and dance lovers have plenty to choose from. Boulder’s own First Friday art walk extends into the weekend, with local galleries showcasing fresh works and inviting the community in for everything from creative workshops to lively discussions. This evening, if you’re feeling the rhythm, Avalon Tango Studio on Arapahoe is hosting English Country Dance from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned twirler, the event is designed to welcome all and costs just five to fifteen dollars.
Tonight, Boulder Theater is featuring Steve Hackett in concert at 8 p.m. If you’re a fan of progressive rock or just looking for an evening of incredible musicianship, catching Hackett’s set is sure to impress. For those seeking a different kind of evening, doors open at 7 p.m. at the Junkyard Social Club for Story Collective: Boundaries, an open-mic style event where storytelling takes center stage.
In the news this morning, Boulder is still following developments from the Nederland fire that destroyed part of Caribou Village Shopping Center. Investigators found no evidence the fire was set intentionally and community fundraisers continue to help business owners and employees bounce back. Meanwhile, local law enforcement is on the lookout for a suspect involved in an aggravated robbery and menacing incident last night. The city encourages anyone with information to come forward.
Other headlines include debates around new noise restrictions at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and recent relief as vehicle thefts have dropped significantly across the Front Range. Plus, with another warm, mostly dry week, local officials note a slight worsening in drought conditions, so keep water conservation in mind as you go about your weekend.
Before we sign off, don’t forget that Veterans Day is coming up Tuesday. City administrative offices and Age Well Centers will be closed, though some essential services will remain available.
That wraps up your Saturday in Boulder. Whether you spend it soaking in local stories, cheering on the Buffs, or dancing the evening away, there’s something for everyone in our vibrant community.
