Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, May 17, 2025.
It is shaping up to be a beautiful spring day in Boulder, with the iconic Flatirons glowing under the early sunlight and the city buzzing with weekend energy. If you are looking for something fun to kick off your Saturday, Boulder Nordic Sport is hosting their popular Scott Mountain Bike Demo today. This free demo event is happening at BCS North on North Broadway, and it is a fantastic chance to test ride some of the latest Scott bikes. Reserve your spot for a two-hour ride session, either from ten to noon or one to three, and take those bikes straight onto the North Sky Trail and Boulder Valley Ranch, just out the shop’s back door. Heil Ranch and Left Hand trails are within a quick drive if you want to try something a bit more adventurous. Spaces tend to fill up fast for this event, so snag a reservation if you want to join in.
Music lovers, the Boulder Theater has a stacked lineup tonight, and if you are in the mood to branch out even further, Red Rocks is hosting a show with ATLiens starting at seven. There is also plenty happening around town with live music, comedy, and arts events, giving you countless options to enjoy Boulder’s vibrant cultural scene. Check out other venues and local happenings, including food and drink specials, open mics, and pop-up markets, all around town today.
On the news front, Boulder County has launched its 2025 wildfire mitigation rebate program. Residents can now apply for financial support to help protect their homes against wildfire risks, a timely reminder as we head into the warmer, drier months. County officials are encouraging everyone to take advantage of this program since preparedness remains key in our ongoing efforts to keep Boulder safe.
In recognition of Boulder's progressive history, the Boulder County Courthouse was recently designated a National Historic Landmark for LGBTQ plus equality. This honor acknowledges the courthouse’s role as a national symbol of inclusion and civil rights.
With stunning weather expected, consider getting outside to soak up those Flatiron views—whether you are hitting the trails, exploring the busy downtown district, or enjoying some patio dining. Remember to stay hydrated and keep an eye on trail conditions, especially with spring growth and the occasional muddy patch.
