Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, July 10, 2025.
Summer in Boulder is in full swing, and there’s plenty going on to fill your calendar today and this week. Let’s start with a quick note from Nederland, where excitement is building over news that the town will hold a public meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Center to discuss the acquisition of Eldora, the much-loved nearby ski resort, by new ownership. Locals are invited to come out, share their thoughts, and hear what the change might mean for winter fun and mountain livelihoods in Boulder County.
In more somber news, the Boulder community is remembering Chadwick Potter, a 36-year-old whose body was recovered this week from Barker Reservoir in Nederland. Multiple agencies collaborated on the recovery effort. While officials have released his identity, details about the cause of death are still pending as the investigation continues. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
If you’re looking for something fun and vibrant to do this weekend, the Erie Balloon Festival is back and promises to be one of the most breathtaking sights of the summer. Just a half-hour drive from Boulder, this free, family-friendly event features dozens of colorful hot air balloons launching at sunrise. Arrive early for the best views and bring your camera for those golden hour photos. Free parking is available at nearby schools, and you can expect a relaxed, community-friendly scene—perfect for families, early risers, and anyone who loves a good photo op.
For the music lovers in town, Boulder’s venues are serving up a packed slate of shows. Tomorrow night at the Boulder Theater, Shakedown Street brings the spirit of the Grateful Dead for a high-energy evening, and if you arrive before 9 p.m., your entry is free. On Saturday, Chautauqua Auditorium hosts Tab Benoit with Too Slim and The Taildraggers—tickets are almost gone, so act fast if you want to catch some top-notch blues. Looking ahead, keep your eyes out for Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam on Monday night and Social Distortion with Plague Vendor at Boulder Theater next Tuesday.
On the campus front, the University of Colorado Boulder is inviting grad students to a virtual career seminar at noon today, plus more theater and arts events through the week for those looking to connect with campus life this summer.
If you’re in the mood for something different, swing by Junkyard Social Club from 6 to 9 tonight for a Fusion Partner Dance event—open to all ages and a great way to add a little movement and music to your Thursday evening.
And for those keeping an eye on bigger happenings, Boulder is now one of three finalists in the running to host the famed Sundance Film Festival—an exciting prospect that could bring even more film, energy, and visitors to our vibrant city in the near future.
