Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, August 17, 2025. Boulder is waking up to a gloriously sunny morning, and there’s no shortage of activity around town today. First, if you’re planning any outdoor fun or heading up to the mountains, remember that Boulder County has recently enacted Stage 1 fire restrictions. This means campfires and open burning are a no-go for now, so pack those cold snacks and help keep our foothills safe.
Soccer fans, make your way to Prentup Field this afternoon. The Colorado Buffaloes women’s soccer team is taking on the Air Force Falcons at 1 p.m., a matchup that promises energy and local pride. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or just want to soak up the excitement and sunshine, it’ll be a great outing for families and friends, and tickets are available at the gate.
For those craving something a little more artistic, peek into the galleries downtown, where new pieces are popping up just in time for fall’s slower afternoons. SmithKlein Gallery is celebrating the recent acquisition of a vibrant work called Cause & Effect by local artist Scharer, which is drawing attention from collectors and art lovers alike.
Sunday nights are perfect for live music, and the Gold Hill Inn Beer Garden has something special. Starting at 6 p.m., you can catch Poorfree, an acoustic folk Americana band spun straight from the mountains of Boulder County. Expect melodic guitars, flute, and drums—all with the kind of energy only local musicians bring. There’s a $10 cash cover, and it’s an ideal excuse to escape up into the hills for a little fresh air and rootsy tunes.
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, the Avalon Ballroom offers a Movement Mass this morning at 10:45, where you can stretch, dance, and connect with others before brunch. For late risers with a love of dance, the Boulder Swing Break and Shake is gearing up nearby, with lessons, competitions, and an evening of social dancing to live music later today. No partner or experience required—just bring your joy and get moving.
Creatives: the Junkyard Social Club has you covered with everything from community jams and drop-in games to quirky art events. While their Marimba Jam is postponed until September, you can always catch impromptu gatherings and find a friendly corner for coffee and conversation with Boulder’s most imaginative locals.
For students and visitors, the University of Colorado campus is bustling. The Glenn Miller Ballroom opens at 8:30 for all-day activities, while the Innovation Station at the Village Center Dining Commons runs from 9 to 3. It’s the final warmup before classes hit high gear, so join in, meet new people, and get a sneak peek of campus life.
On the local news front, a state grant just awarded $250,000 to religious groups for security upgrades following recent attacks. Boulder’s own faith communities will benefit, adding an extra layer of safety and reassurance for all who gather.
That’s a quick slice of what’s happening in and around Boulder today. Whether you’re catching a soccer game, grooving to live music, exploring campus, or making art with friends, Boulder’s beating heart is everywhere you look.
