Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, September 13, 2025.
A crisp weekend is unfolding here in Boulder with sunlight shimmering off the Flatirons and plenty to keep you engaged, curious, and entertained. Let’s start downtown at the Boulder Public Library where the JLF Colorado International Literature Festival is underway from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. Admission is free and visitors can look forward to author talks, readings, and cross-cultural conversations that are bringing literary voices from around the globe right into Boulder’s heart. Whether you’re a poetry devotee or a fiction fanatic, this lively gathering promises fresh ideas and some serious book-browsing inspiration.
Around the creative corners of town, the Fall Art Market at Groundworks Art Lab on Aurora Avenue is running from 10 to 5. It’s a fantastic chance to meet Colorado artists, explore original artworks, and maybe even pick out something unique for your home or a thoughtful gift. If photography is your passion, East Window Gallery’s “Shadows Gather: The Archives 2019–Now” exhibition is open through October, showcasing more than 2,000 vibrant images capturing Boulder’s queer and punk underground scene. First-time and longtime residents alike can deepen their connection to Boulder’s creative spirit with a stroll through either gallery today.
On the sport front, CU Boulder’s volleyball team continues their hot streak, coming off a strong win against Arkansas for their seventh straight victory this season. Energy is running high at the CU Events Center, and the Buffs are setting an early tone for fall sports in Boulder. If you’re a fan, check out the latest matchup schedules and don some black and gold to cheer them on.
For those who crave some fresh air, the Boulder foothills are radiating that September magic. Whether you’re tackling a trail or simply pausing to watch the sunrise, you’ll catch morning views of the Flatirons from Louisville and across the valley. Bird watchers can drive up to Barr Lake for the Fall Birding Festival, but right here there’s no shortage of local hiking spots and parks to greet migrating birds.
Foodies and neighbors are venturing out to community garage sales and local farmers’ markets, with late-summer produce and plenty of treasures to discover around every corner. While the Gold Hill Inn’s beer garden is closed today for a private event, the local dining scene has plenty to offer across town if you’re after a cozy lunch or a celebratory dinner.
And as for campus news, CU Boulder has returned to routine after a disruptive Thursday when three campus buildings, including Norlin Library, were evacuated due to an unconfirmed bomb threat. The all-clear was given within an hour, classes resumed in most buildings, but Norlin will stay closed today with police escorts available for students needing to collect their items. It’s a reminder to stay aware but also to appreciate the dedicated campus safety teams who work to keep Boulder’s students, faculty, and visitors safe and informed.
Finally, whether you’re flipping through zines in Denver or savoring coffee at Pearl Street, Boulder feels alive with possibilities this weekend. Keep your eyes open—community is everywhere.
