Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, February 8, 2025. It's a beautiful day in Boulder, and we've got a lot to cover, so let's dive right in.
First off, sports fans, get ready for an exciting matchup today as the University of Colorado men's basketball team takes on No. 5 Houston at the CU Events Center. The Buffaloes are looking to break their 11-game losing streak, and what better way to do it than against a top-ranked team? Tip-off is at 2:01 p.m. MT, and you can catch the game on ESPN+ or listen in on KOA 850 AM & 94.1 FM.
If basketball isn't your thing, don't worry, there's plenty more to do in Boulder today. For music lovers, tonight is all about tribute bands and live performances. Head over to Dickens Opera House in Longmont for an unforgettable night with Petty Fools, a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers tribute band. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show runs from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets start at $17.75, and you can grab them on Eventbrite.
But that's not all; Denver and Boulder are buzzing with live music and events tonight. From Haliene at the Bluebird Theater to An Evening with The Disco Biscuits at Mission Ballroom, there's something for every taste. Check out Do303 for a full list of events and venues.
For those looking for something a bit more low-key, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is offering free salsa classes on February 11. This new class will explore the relationship between movement, music, history, and the culture of salsa dancing. All levels are welcome, and registration is required in advance.
If you're planning ahead for Valentine's Day, Colorado Glass Works has a fun and festive stained-glass workshop perfect for couples, best friends, or family members. Create a heart sun-catcher while learning foiling and soldering basics in this 1.5-hour partner-style class. Sessions start at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., and 8 p.m. on February 14 and 15.
Back to today, the University of Colorado Boulder has a variety of events lined up. The Fiske Planetarium and Science Center is hosting several shows, including a 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and a 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. session. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students, youth, military, seniors, and Fiske members.
Finally, for families, mark your calendars for February 23, when the Boulder Public Library's Canyon Gallery & Theater will host a Sunday Sing-a-Long to "The Little Mermaid." Doors open at 1 p.m., and everyone is encouraged to sing along. It's free, and you can bring your own food and drinks.
