Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, July 24, 2025.

We start our day with exciting news out of the University of Colorado Boulder, where shovels hit the ground this week for a brand-new chemistry and applied mathematics facility. This project is expected to set a new standard for research and collaboration in science right here in Boulder, boosting both academic innovation and local job opportunities. In other CU headlines, the campus is also buzzing about a CU pediatrician recently spotlighted in a documentary premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, putting our local health leaders on a national stage and reminding us of the diverse talents flourishing in our community.

For arts lovers and those craving a live performance fix, there’s no shortage of options. The University Theatre has tickets available for its summer productions, offering an indoor arts escape just as the weather starts to turn hot again. If improv is more your style, you can join a drop-in improv class this evening, perfect for both curious newcomers and comedic veterans. And music fans, this weekend brings the much-anticipated RockyGrass Festival to Lyons, set to run through July 27, and promising bluegrass performances, food vendors, and outdoor fun for the whole family. For a bigger concert experience, head to Red Rocks Friday night, where the Indigo Girls share the stage with Melissa Etheridge in what’s sure to be a memorable show.

Back in downtown Boulder, the Boulder Farmers Market is going strong. Stop by for fresh local produce, crafts, and maybe a neighborly chat. Plus, Boulder’s environmental scene continues to thrive, with a sustainability-focused workshop this afternoon. Come ready to get your hands dirty and glean some fresh ideas for greener living.

On the community front, Boulder County’s continued commitment to fighting human trafficking is in the news, with the District Attorney’s Office expanding its investigative team. This comes as part of a broader statewide effort to address a rise in trafficking reports and ensure vulnerable residents are protected. If you or someone you know needs help, the National Human Trafficking Hotline remains a confidential resource.

If you’re planning to hit the trails or head up to higher altitudes, a reminder from rescue teams in the region: rescue calls are up this season, likely due to fast-melting snow and busy trails. Take extra care, pack plenty of water, and let someone know your route before heading out.

Finally, don’t miss out on the sense of civic pride as Boulder’s lawmakers celebrate a new state law supporting college athletes’ rights to profit from their name, image, and likeness, continuing our city’s tradition of progressive community action.

That’s all for today’s look at local happenings, opportunities, and stories connecting Boulder. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
