    Boulder Local Frequency: May 2nd Weekend Guide - Farmers Markets, Live Music, and Road Closures
    May 2 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, May 2nd, 2026.

    We're heading into a busy weekend here in Boulder and across the region, so let's catch you up on what's happening around town.

    If you're looking to get outside and support local, the Boulder Farmers Market is happening this morning along 13th Street between Arapahoe and Canyon Boulevard, running from eight AM until two PM. It's a perfect opportunity to grab fresh local produce and chat with your neighbors before the day heats up.

    Speaking of local culture, if you're into music, head over to Trident Booksellers and Cafe today for Ambient Day. It's a full day of ambient and experimental music happening throughout the day at one of Boulder's finest outdoor performance spaces. There's also Sober Night Live happening at the Roots Music Project if you're looking for an evening out.

    For the theater crowd, the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company is presenting Mary Jane at the Dairy Arts Center at two PM today. You'll want to register in advance for that one.

    Now, a heads up for next week: Colorado Highway 52 will be temporarily closed to all traffic between Highway 119 and 71st Street starting May 6th through May 9th. If you typically use that route, you'll want to plan ahead and find an alternate way to get where you're going.

    In other infrastructure news, construction continues on the 120th Street reconstruction project from Overlook to Dillon, with a full closure expected to start later in May.

    And if you're thinking about your home and the upcoming wildfire season, Boulder County continues to offer free community chipping services to all residents. It's part of the Wildfire Partners program, helping residents manage high-risk vegetation on their properties. That's a great resource to take advantage of while it's available.

    Over in Superior, they're launching their monthly Summer Market series starting May 20th on Main Street, running from five to eight PM. Local produce, novelty goods, and entertainment are all coming to downtown Superior.

    Temperatures should be pleasant today, so it's a great day to get out and enjoy what our community has to offer, whether that's the farmers market, live music, or just walking around downtown.

    This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Boulder County Faces Budget Crisis as Recovery Services Return

    Boulder County Faces Budget Crisis as Recovery Services Return
    Apr 30 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, April 30th, 2026.

    We're starting the day with some significant news on the budget front. Boulder County officials announced yesterday that another round of layoffs and budget cuts are coming as the county tries to close a thirteen point two million dollar structural deficit in the 2027 budget. Officials say the gap is being driven by rising costs and slower revenue growth, so expect to hear more details about which departments will be affected in the coming weeks.

    On a more positive note, if you've been missing the county's addiction treatment services, there's some good news. The recovery home for homeless people struggling with substance use disorders is reopening tomorrow, May first. The city of Boulder has selected Hazelbrook, a Colorado-based recovery services provider, to run the program. The eleven-bed residential facility on Pearl Street originally opened in 2023 but closed last September when the previous vendor cited challenges with federal funding. Hazelbrook will begin accepting clients tomorrow and will focus on serving homeless adults with substance use disorders as well as people transitioning out of incarceration.

    If you've got some outstanding warrants hanging over your head, here's your chance to handle them without getting arrested. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office is hosting a Fresh Start warrant forgiveness event this Saturday, May second, from nine in the morning to one in the afternoon at the Boulder County Justice Center. The event allows people to resolve certain nonviolent misdemeanor and traffic cases, set new court dates, or speak with a public defender. Just keep in mind that only eligible cases qualify, so more serious charges are excluded.

    Looking ahead to this weekend, cycling enthusiasts should mark their calendars. The Koppenberg Bicycle Race returns to Superior on Sunday, May third, marking its first running in five years. Cyclists will compete on a five point five mile loop starting and ending on South seventy-sixth Street, with races scheduled from eight in the morning until one thirty in the afternoon.

    Weather-wise, today will be our warmest day of the week with highs in the upper fifties, but expect scattered showers and a couple of thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and evening. Tomorrow looks chilly with widespread rain developing during the day and highs only reaching the low to mid forties.

  • Boulder's Sushi Boom Meets Food Loss and Community Fights to Save Local Icons

    Boulder's Sushi Boom Meets Food Loss and Community Fights to Save Local Icons
    Apr 29 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, April 29.

    Boulderites, get ready for a sushi invasion thats going to tantalize your taste buds just as spring blooms. Tomorrow, Odd Rabbit swings open at 5683 Arapahoe Avenue in East Boulder, where Christopher and Ariana Teigland, fresh from Blackbelly and with a Michelin Bib Gourmand under their belts from Denvers Glo Noodle House, will dish up inventive sushi and Asian fare. Then on May 7, Pearl Streets former High Country spot at 1117 Pearl transforms into Wellness Counter by Phoebe and Steven Lee, bringing their Denver-famous plant-based sushi plus premium Japanese seafood with a chefs counter and dry-aged fish program. These openings highlight Boulders magnetic pull for top culinary talent, even with sky-high rents and parking woes, fueled by our vibrant scene and the buzz around upcoming Sundance vibes. Meanwhile, Pollo Limas second spot gears up in the old Zolo Grill space at 2525 Arapahoe, promising Peruvian delights soon.

    But not all food news is celebratory. Iconic Mustards Last Stand faces demolition in 2027 or 2028 due to its Boulder Creek floodplain spot, a risk amplified by the 2013 floods, though founder Dan Polovin calls it a great ride and eyes a possible relocation. Up in Jamestown, locals are rallying to save The Merc cafe with a nonprofit push to buy the building for 1.5 million, keeping it as a community heartbeat. And peach lovers, brace yourselves: a hot spell followed by freezes have wiped out crops in spots like Paonia, with limited cherries and apricots ahead, though Rancho Durazno promises full peaches by early July. Celebrate Stop Food Waste Day today by savoring local radishes on buttered toast, a simple hack to cut that 3000 annual family loss.

    Events wise, head to the Boulder Valley School Districts Culinary Center open house tomorrow at 6500 Arapahoe for kitchen tours, greenhouse peeks, and bites from their award-winning sustainable program, honored by Slow Food. Todays BVSD lunches feature French Toast Casserole with chicken sausage or Nashville Hot Chicken. This afternoon at 1:15, join Building a Stronger Democracy with Molly Fitzpatrick at the Clerks Office. Quantum fans, the Colorado Quantum Incubator in Flatiron Park launches the nations first open-access timing testbed, boosting innovation right here. BVSD offers buyouts to veteran teachers amid budget crunches, despite our states top average pay near 100k. Lafayette Farmers Market kicks off May 3 with gems like Buckner Ranch and vegan mochi.

    Catch theater at the Dairy Arts Center, live tunes at Boulder Theater, or rallies brewing for May 1s International Workers Day downtown.

  • Boulder Local Frequency: Dance, Celebrate, and Stay Wolf Aware This Sunday

    Boulder Local Frequency: Dance, Celebrate, and Stay Wolf Aware This Sunday
    Apr 26 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, April 26th, 2026.

    We're starting this Sunday with some exciting opportunities to get out and move your body around Boulder today. If you're looking to dance, the Avalon Ballroom over on Arapahoe Road has Boulder Ecstatic Dance happening this evening from six fifteen to nine thirty. It's a wonderful way to spend your Sunday night, and admission is just twenty dollars. For those who might be interested in regular dance classes throughout the week, the venue also hosts salsa lessons and social dancing on Thursday nights, waltz classes on Wednesdays, and contra dancing coming up this Friday. There's truly something for every rhythm and skill level.

    Speaking of what's happening around town, if you haven't checked out what the University of Colorado has going on, they're hosting their University Commencement Ceremony and their ENVD 2026 Senior Showcase. It's a great time to celebrate our community's students and their accomplishments. The Boulder Public Library also continues to offer a variety of programs this week, from storytelling sessions to educational events and exhibits.

    Now, turning to something that's been catching the attention of many Boulder residents lately, we're getting reports about wolves in our region. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has been tracking collared wolves exploring watersheds in central Boulder County and nearby Jefferson County. While none have crossed Interstate 25 or entered urban Boulder itself, it's important to understand what this means. When tracking maps show wolf activity, it doesn't necessarily mean they're living in those areas. It typically means a collared wolf passed through at some point. Most wolves are still in their established territories farther west, and the ones exploring eastward are usually lone animals rather than full packs relocating.

    If you do spot a wolf, experts recommend staying calm and not running. Back away slowly while facing the animal and report the sighting to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. In the meantime, keep your dogs leashed, especially during early morning and evening hours, and secure any pet food or trash that might attract wildlife.

    So get out there and enjoy this Sunday. Whether you're dancing at the Avalon, celebrating our graduates, or just enjoying Boulder's natural spaces, remember to stay aware of your surroundings and respect the wildlife that shares our beautiful community.

  • Boulder Weekend Outlook: Airport Decision, Drought Watch, and Rain Relief Coming

    Boulder Weekend Outlook: Airport Decision, Drought Watch, and Rain Relief Coming
    Apr 25 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, April 25th, 2026.

    We're starting this weekend with some important news from City Hall. Boulder City Council has made a significant decision about the future of Boulder Municipal Airport. In a close vote this week, council members directed city officials to keep the airport open indefinitely. While this move will unlock important FAA funding for maintenance and repairs, it does have a major trade-off. Keeping the airport open makes it much harder for the city to repurpose that land for housing in the future, which had been a consideration as Boulder continues to grapple with its housing shortage.

    Shifting to water, Boulder County is already facing extreme drought conditions, but there's some cautiously good news on the local water front. Boulder's water system is expected to hold for now without mandatory restrictions. However, the situation is serious. Snowpack in key basins is at historic lows, and one watershed has already melted out weeks ahead of schedule. Reservoirs may not fully refill this spring, so officials expect to have a clearer picture on whether water cuts might be necessary sometime in May.

    On the wildfire front, Boulder County has opened spring grant applications for its Strategic Fuels Mitigation Grant Program. With fuels across the county extremely dry and primed to burn, this funding is critical. Since the program launched in fall of 2023, the county has awarded about 5.5 million dollars, with over 1000 acres of land treated. Nonprofits, fire protection districts, and homeowners associations are all eligible to apply.

    Speaking of weather, we do have one final Red Flag Day in effect until 8 PM this evening. Expect critical fire danger with winds gusting between 25 and 35 miles per hour and humidity dropping below 10 percent. But relief is on the way. A cold front will slide in tonight, bringing cooler and moister air. We're looking at a Pacific disturbance arriving from the southwest with a prime window for rain from late Saturday through Sunday. Boulder County should see around half an inch of moisture, which would be a welcome change after this extremely dry stretch.

    On the transit front, Boulder County is seeking your input on its first countywide transit plan. The online survey is open through May 31st. According to the State of Transit Report, less than 1 percent of trips in the county are currently made by transit, down significantly since 2019. Community feedback has emphasized the need for more frequent service on routes like the Flatiron Flyer and airport service, better connections to grocery stores and schools, and expanded early morning and late evening options.

    This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Boulder Local Frequency: Fire Safety, New Restaurants, and Community Events

    Boulder Local Frequency: Fire Safety, New Restaurants, and Community Events
    Apr 23 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, April 23rd, 2026.

    We're starting this Thursday with some important safety updates affecting our community. Boulder County is currently under Stage One Fire Restrictions for all unincorporated areas, and today has been designated a High Fire Danger Day, so please be mindful of any outdoor activities that could pose a risk. Additionally, if you're in the Ponderosa Way area of unincorporated Boulder County, you may recall the significant incident from this past weekend when suspected explosive devices were discovered. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office has now confirmed that the five improvised explosive devices found were ultimately non-functional, containing components similar to pipe bombs but lacking the explosive material needed to detonate. Technicians completed a thorough assessment and safe removal, so the immediate threat to the area has been cleared.

    On a lighter note, there's plenty happening around Boulder to keep you engaged. If you're looking for community activities, Boulder Community Health is hosting the Steady Steps Fall Prevention Mini-Series this afternoon from one to three o'clock, which is a great resource for anyone interested in maintaining their health and safety. For those with an appetite for something new, mark your calendars for next Thursday when Odd Rabbit, a sushi restaurant from the creators of Denver's Glo Noodle House, opens its doors at 5863 Arapahoe Avenue in Boulder.

    If you're affiliated with or interested in the University of Colorado, the New Venture Challenge Finals took place yesterday at the Boulder Theater, showcasing some exciting entrepreneurial projects from our student community. The Colorado Shakespeare Festival continues its season in association with CU Boulder, offering professional theater performances throughout the spring.

    Looking ahead, Boulder County is actively seeking community input on its draft transit vision, so if you have thoughts about the future of transportation in our region, now is the time to make your voice heard. The county is prioritizing infrastructure and community development as we move forward together.

    That's what's happening around Boulder today. Whether you're staying safe during these high fire danger conditions or exploring new local businesses and community events, there's always something to engage with in our vibrant area.

  • Boulder Local Frequency: Red Flag Warning and Earth Day Celebrations

    Boulder Local Frequency: Red Flag Warning and Earth Day Celebrations
    Apr 22 2026
    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, April 22nd.

    We're starting this Wednesday with some fire safety alerts you need to know about. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning that remains in effect until midnight tonight. We're talking dangerous wind conditions and very low humidity across the Front Range Foothills, so if you're planning any outdoor activities, please take extra precautions and keep an eye on fire danger levels throughout the day.

    On a different note, if you've been meaning to level up your cooking skills, today is your day. Food Lab in Boulder is hosting a Knife Skills Workshop this afternoon. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone who's been fumbling with kitchen knives for years, this class will teach you proper technique and knife maintenance. It's one of those skills that genuinely transforms your cooking experience every single day after, so if you take nothing else away from this, consider registioning for this one.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, Boulder has some wonderful Earth Day celebrations planned. On Friday, April 25th, Resource Central is hosting an Earth Day and Rock and Reuse celebration with a sale on used vegetable gardening tools and equipment. If you've been wanting to start a garden or upgrade your existing setup, this is a great opportunity to find quality used items.

    That same evening, Lafayette's Friends Farm is hosting Connection Dinner, a farm to table community gathering. It's a family style meal featuring local producers. They're serving Jenerous Foods gluten-free bread with pinto bean dip and serrano chile oil, stir-fry vegetables with Jacob Springs meats, and finishing with a rhubarb jam tart topped with lilac whipped cream. It's a beautiful way to support local farmers while enjoying a real sense of community around the table.

    Also worth noting, the University of Colorado Boulder recently opened its renovated Hellems Arts and Sciences Building here in April. It's a major campus renovation designed by Hacker and Handprint Architecture, so if you're curious about the updated facilities, it's now open to visitors.

    One more thing before you head out into this windy Wednesday: stay weather aware, keep hydrated, and enjoy the local events happening around us. Boulder continues to be a vibrant community with so much to offer.
