Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, August 23, 2025. Welcome to a sunny weekend in Boulder, where the town is buzzing with energy and summer festivities. If you’re hungry for adventure and a bite to eat, head straight to Boulder Creek for the annual Boulder Taco Fest—it’s the ultimate celebration of all things taco. Dig into delicious creations from local favorites, sip on margaritas and craft beer, and groove to live bands under shady trees. The festival kicks off with the 5K Taco Run for those eager to earn their lunch, and if that’s not enough, you’ll find high-flying Lucha Libre wrestling, piñata bashing, and a fun-loving crowd soaking up that Colorado sun.

If racing is more your speed, Boulder Reservoir is hosting today’s Boulder Sunset Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike, and both 10K and 5K runs. Whether you’re competing or cheering on the athletes, the reservoir’s scenic views will make it worth your while—just make sure you catch the action early before the midday heat sets in.

For those who prefer live entertainment, tonight offers plenty of options downtown. Boulder Theater is transforming into a haven for film buffs with a special screening and costume party for The Big Lebowski. Bring your best Dude attire and enjoy one of cinema’s cult classics with your fellow fans. Later tonight, Fox Theatre hosts Velvet Daydream and Wampus Cat, promising a night of indie sounds and good vibes on the Hill. Keep an eye on next week’s shows, too, including the ever-popular Dark Star Orchestra and comedy highlights with Maria Bamford.

Music lovers can also look forward to upcoming concerts around Boulder, featuring folk hero Ani DiFranco, Latin instrumentalists Hermanos Gutiérrez, and singer-songwriter Mat Kearney—all at the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in September. Jamgrass icons Leftover Salmon will return for their annual Thanksgiving show at Boulder Theater, celebrating 35 years of legendary performances.

Change is happening in Boulder’s business community as well, as Boulder County begins accepting bids for their North Broadway campus this coming Monday. It’s a move expected to reshape public services for thousands of locals, with big implications for growth and community engagement.

University events are picking up as students return to campus, with block parties, bike tours, and open houses lighting up CU Boulder. Whether you’re new to town or a lifelong resident, there’s plenty to get involved with—and you can catch all campus happenings on their online events calendar.

That wraps up your local news for today, from savory tacos to start-of-semester celebrations and even a triathlon for the bold. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
