Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, August 9, 2025. The sun is out, the Flatirons are gleaming, and Boulder is bursting with local happenings to make the most of your weekend.
First up, longtime fair fans won't want to miss the adrenaline and action at the Boulder County Fair Grandstand this afternoon. The annual Demo Derby kicks off at 5 PM, with gates opening at 3:30 PM. General admission tickets go up in price at the gate, so grab them early if you want front row views of metal crunching and engine roaring fun. For those who love four-legged friends, the fair also features Goat Yoga sessions and, running all weekend, a smorgasbord of rodeos, vendors, and classic fair eats—so bring the whole family for a taste of Colorado summer.
If you're craving something outdoorsy with a wellness twist, the B Strong Ride pedaling event is happening today. Cyclists from across Boulder and beyond will hit the trails to raise funds and awareness for local cancer care and organizations. Whether you're a participant or spectator, it’s a powerful scene of community spirit and sunshine. And for those who prefer downward dogs to handlebars, nearby Red Rocks is hosting Yoga the Rocks, a morning session for yogis who want to flow amidst natural beauty.
History buffs, inquisitive minds, and anyone curious about ancient mysteries are in for a treat as Gaia's 4th Annual Ancient Civilizations Conference comes to the GaiaSphere Event Center. Running today and tomorrow, this event brings together twelve global experts revealing fresh evidence on lost civilizations, including just-discovered structures beneath the Giza pyramids. If you can't make it in person, a streaming option is available so you can ponder humanity's secrets from home.
Meanwhile, Boulder is celebrating a powerful example of community collaboration. Volunteers fanned out across parks, backyards, and wild spaces this week to harvest native chokecherries, reviving a tradition meaningful to local Indigenous communities and benefiting members of the Wind River Reservation. More than three hundred pounds of these tart berries were collected—a big leap from past years—showing how Boulder spirit can help sustain ceremonial foods and cultural connections.
On the cultural beat, Motus Theater is hosting an art opening and community civic dialogue with the Boulder County District Attorney's office this afternoon. Swing by for powerful stories, activation around social justice, and a chance to connect with neighbors and local leaders.
The creative energy doesn’t stop there. If you want a night out, head over to Junkyard Social Club for the Flow Fest Denver After-Party. Doors open at 8 and the music rolls in at 9 for an 18-plus celebration of dance, art, and quirky community fun.
For a classic evening of culture, the University Theatre presents Shakespeare’s The Tempest tonight. Whether you love Shakespeare’s storms or just want an excuse to dress up, tickets are still available for the Roe Green Theatre performance.
From county fairs and ancient mysteries to wellness rides and civic dialogues, Boulder is buzzing with opportunities to connect, learn, and play this weekend. Be sure to get outside, soak up the action, and look for ways to give back—whether it’s harvesting fruit, supporting local theater, or cheering at the demo derby.
