Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, August 28th, 2025.
We’re starting today with good news from our beautiful Colorado wilderness: local fire officials have confirmed that the Crosho Fire, which has worried many across the region this month, is now fully contained. Relief is running high across Boulder County as fire crews shift efforts back to prevention, cleanup, and support for those impacted. If you've been out hiking or planning trips into the mountains, you can breathe a bit easier this week, though always check for lingering trail closures or smoke advisories just in case.
Turning to local government, Boulder City Council is making headlines after officially approving a measure to extend the Community, Culture, and Resilience Sales tax—also known as CCRS—indefinitely. This means more ongoing funding for our arts, affordable housing, parks, and wildfire mitigation. Keep an eye on your November ballot, because this initiative is likely to become a centerpiece of community debate in coming months.
If you’re looking for things to do around town tonight, Boulder is buzzing. At the legendary Fox Theatre, Circles Around the Sun takes the stage at 8 p.m. Expect a special collaborative set with Mikaela Davis, and as of this morning, there are only a handful of tickets left. It’s a rare chance to catch one of the most innovative jam bands in an intimate hometown venue. Prefer to dance the night away? The Avalon Ballroom hosts its weekly Salsa Social tonight, running from 6:30 until 11. With live Rueda lessons for all skill levels, food trucks rolling in, and a mix of Salsa, Bachata, and West Coast Swing, this is one of Boulder’s friendliest, most energetic gatherings—no partner required, just bring your dancing shoes and some appetite.
Literary buffs might head to Boulder Bookstore at 6:30, where local author and counselor Scott Doniger is signing and discussing his new book, Hijacked: Getting to Know Our Parts and Why They Take Us Over. Expect a lively conversation about managing stress in our always-on world.
And for those drawn to Boulder’s creative edge, the Museum of Boulder rolls out the red carpet for the Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema’s 22nd season premiere. Starting at 6:30, the festival offers rooftop views, drinks, and an eclectic selection of dance films to kick off the weekend.
Looking ahead, September features Boulder’s major health event of the year, the NourishED Research Summit—a four-day virtual gathering focused on eating disorders and mental health led by Boulder’s own Dr. Brenna Bray. Whether you’re a student, a provider, or just curious about wellness, registration is open now.
Finally, with students back at CU Boulder, campus is alive with fairs, workshops, and networking events—check the university’s calendar for everything from museum pop-ups to art walks and sustainability meetups.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
