Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, April 19th, 2025. It’s a fresh spring weekend in Boulder, and there’s a lively buzz around town as the community gears up for a variety of happenings, both on and off campus.
If you’re a sports fan or just want to soak up the electric campus energy, Folsom Field is the place to be today for the Black and Gold Spring Game. This annual showcase is more than just football — it’s Coach Prime’s third year leading the Buffaloes, and the turnout has been massive in the past, with thousands braving even snow to catch the action. It’s a great chance to see new talent in action and connect with fellow Buffs fans, so bring your school spirit and enjoy what’s become a beloved spring tradition for Boulder families and students. The energy around the stadium is contagious, and with season tickets hitting record renewal rates, it’s clear the Buffs are as important to Boulder as ever.
Outside the stadium, today is also marked by civic activism. The nationwide “No Kings Day” demonstrations, part of the 50501 movement, are mobilizing communities in all 50 states, including right here in Boulder. The local protest is expected at Broadway and Table Mesa, starting around noon. Organizers say they’re rallying to protect rights and resist policies they feel threaten social protections and education. Whether you’re attending to make your voice heard or simply passing by, expect some traffic and energy in that area this afternoon. This movement has been drawing people from across the political spectrum, reflecting Colorado’s engaged and outspoken citizenry, so if you plan to join, bring a friend and some creative signs, and keep an eye out for further updates on locations and times.
And of course, Boulder continues to buzz with local flavor — from the weekend farmers market showcasing fresh produce and artisan crafts, to trails full of hikers and bikers making the most of the spring weather. Local cafes and breweries are rolling out their patios, and Pearl Street is alive with street performers and pop-up events. With the foothills greening up, it’s a perfect time for a stroll, a climb, or just to soak up the sun with friends.
That’s it for your Saturday roundup. Whether you’re cheering on the Buffs, making your voice heard, or simply enjoying the beauty and bustle of Boulder, there’s no shortage of ways to connect with your community. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
