Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Friday, May 30, 2025.
Let’s kick things off with some big news on the Pearl Street Mall. Today, Boulder is celebrating a truly historic moment as the Boulder County Courthouse officially receives its National Historic Landmark designation. The celebration takes place from 10 to 11 a.m. right at the mall entrance to the courthouse at 1325 Pearl Street. This event is free and open to all, and it’s a standing-room-only gathering, so bring your excitement and good vibes. In a special touch that ties our past to our present, the ceremony will include the raising of the Pride Flag by Rocky Mountain Equality, marking the start of Pride Month here in Boulder. If you love local history or want to show your support for equality, this is a don’t-miss event.
A quick heads-up for anyone heading to campus or the downtown area: the Center for Community, or C4C, parking garage on the University of Colorado Boulder campus will be closed starting today through June 8 for annual power washing and cleaning. If you usually park there, plan for alternative parking and give yourself a little extra time to get where you’re going.
There’s plenty to do in and around Boulder this weekend. If you’re in the mood for live music, check out some shows happening both locally and down the road in Denver. The Levitt Pavilion in Denver is continuing its free summer concert series, with MusicFest featuring Jeremy Zuker with Arlie and As of Today tonight. Saturday brings Luciane Dom with Marcia de Souza and Bill Kopper, and Sunday there’s the Mobile Studio Music Festival. If you feel like venturing just outside Boulder, this is a great option for music lovers.
Back closer to home, the weekend also offers a variety of outdoor activities. For families and art enthusiasts, the St. Vrain Watershed Art Contest recently announced its winners, and their works are being showcased in the area. It’s a great chance to see how local students interpret the waterways that give so much life to our community.
Finally, for anyone looking to give back or engage in local government, Boulder County continues to encourage residents to apply for the winter 2025 boards and commissions training. It’s an opportunity to make your voice heard and help shape the future of Boulder.
That’s a wrap for your Friday news and events. Whether you’re celebrating history on Pearl Street, catching live music, or enjoying some time outdoors, Boulder is buzzing with energy and opportunities to connect. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
