Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Friday, April 4, 2025.
There’s a buzz in Boulder today as we kick off Boulder Arts Week, an annual celebration running through April 12. With over 150 events, including murals, musical performances, and workshops, this is your chance to dive into Boulder’s creative spirit. The festivities begin tonight with the NoBo Arts District’s First Friday Art Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Stroll through artist studios, galleries, and pop-up exhibits while enjoying live music and tasty bites. A great way to meander into art, wine in hand!
In other unique experiences, Growing Gardens is hosting baby goat bottle feeding from 11 a.m. to noon. If the idea of cuddling “kids” sounds like the perfect way to spend a Friday, tickets are still available—this hands-on event supports sustainable urban agriculture.
Looking ahead to this evening’s entertainment, the Boulder Theater welcomes Ganavya at 8 p.m. as part of the Denver Jazz Festival. Her music blends jazz with Indian classical influences for a truly mesmerizing performance. And for a laugh, comedian Jay Pharoah performs at Comedy Works Downtown at 7:30 p.m., offering a dose of humor to round out your night.
For the foodies among us, the beloved Boulder Farmers Market opens its season tomorrow, April 5, running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on 13th Street. It’s the perfect spot to grab farm-fresh produce, artisanal baked goods, and a delicious lunch by the creek. And don’t forget, the Taste of Pearl arrives on Sunday! This culinary event pairs 15 local restaurants with wineries and distilleries—an indulgent way to experience the best of Boulder’s dining scene downtown.
On a civic note, Boulder’s City Council is contemplating new taxes to address a $380 million infrastructure backlog. Two proposals, a sales tax extension and a property tax, could generate $22 million annually to fund overdue repairs to roads, parks, and public facilities. Interested residents can attend the April 8 drop-in session at the East Boulder Community Center to share their input.
Lastly, watch for some sunny weather this weekend, perfect for outdoor activities. Whether you’re hitting up the arts, indulging at the market, or exploring Boulder’s scenic trails, this weekend promises something for everyone.
