Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, June 19, 2025. It’s a sun-soaked morning here in Boulder and the Flatirons are putting on a spectacular show—if you’re up early, take a moment to enjoy that view, maybe even from Louisville where the dawn light casts an incredible glow over the city.
This week, Boulder is in the heart of Juneteenth celebrations, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. If you missed it, there was a moving flag-raising ceremony at the Penfield Tate II Municipal Building on Monday, but celebrations continue today with community events, thoughtful discussions, and art installations across town. Local leaders are sharing stories and there’s a palpable sense of reflection and pride as the city marks this important anniversary.
On a more somber note, the community is still processing the recent tragic attack on the Pearl Street Mall earlier this month. Boulder Police continue their investigation into the incident that left several residents injured, and local officials have reiterated their support for the victims and families affected. In the wake of these events, there’s been an outpouring of support, with neighbors organizing fundraisers and community conversations focused on healing and resilience. If you’re looking for ways to get involved or need support, several local organizations are offering resources, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
For those searching for lighter ways to embrace the day, Boulder’s music scene is as lively as ever. There’s a buzz around town after Sol Chase and his band shared stories about their creative process and those almost magical moments that bring musicians together. Check out the latest issue of Boulder Weekly for more on their journey and for recommendations on upcoming shows if you’re looking to tap into the local soundscape.
Outdoor enthusiasts, the weather is perfect for a hike or an afternoon at Boulder Reservoir. Pack a picnic, bring some friends, or try one of the yoga-in-the-park sessions happening today across town. And for families, several public libraries are hosting Juneteenth reading hours and craft sessions for kids, so there’s plenty to keep everyone engaged and learning.
Whether you’re diving into community celebrations, taking in the mountain vistas, or supporting neighbors in need, today is a reminder of Boulder’s spirit—one of resilience, creativity, and connection. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
