Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, July 8th, 2025.

Today in Boulder, locals are waking up to a clear, sunny morning with temperatures expected to climb into the high 80s by the afternoon. It is a perfect day to soak up some sun or hit the trails. If you are looking for something cultural tonight, the Colorado Music Festival continues at Chautauqua Auditorium. At 7:30 pm, you can catch a world premiere by Grammy-winning composer Joan Tower, performed by saxophonist Steven Banks alongside Brahms Symphony No. 1. This festival is a highlight of Boulder’s summer, bringing top-tier musicians together under the direction of Peter Oundjian. If you have not experienced live orchestral music lately, tonight is a great opportunity to do so and support the city’s vibrant arts scene.

For those looking to stay active, the University of Colorado Boulder is hosting a range of campus events throughout July. The ever-popular Buff Pool Deck will be transformed into a yoga haven on July 17, but if you want to work on your bouldering skills, keep an eye out for Inclusive Rec’s Novice Night at the Climbing Gym on July 16. No experience required for either, so it’s a great time for beginners. Meanwhile, graduate students can keep their writing habits on track with the Grad Plus Weekly Write-Ins running every Tuesday through August 5. It is a supportive, communal way to stay productive during these summer months.

If community and safety are on your mind, wildfire season in Boulder County runs through September, so Boulder County Wildfire Partners are offering a free wildfire mitigation workshop this Thursday, July 10, at the Boulder Public Library. It is a smart move for any resident interested in protecting their home, and you will get a chance to ask experts about specific concerns.

Looking ahead, mark your calendar for the open house on the Boulder to Erie Regional Trail Plan on August 29. This is your chance to weigh in on one of the region’s most anticipated trail projects and help shape the future of local outdoor recreation.

And finally, Boulder County is already at work on its 2025 budget, with a Commissioners’ Town Hall scheduled for October. Keep an eye out for updates if you want to have your say in local priorities.

Whether you are catching live music, joining a wellness class, or learning about wildfire preparedness, Boulder is buzzing with opportunities to connect and get involved. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
