Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, August 10, 2025.
We are off to a lively summer Sunday here in Boulder, and there is no shortage of local happenings to get you out and about today. Let’s start at the Boulder County Fair, rolling through its final day of fun at the fairgrounds. The fair promises free admission, classic carnival rides, and that mouthwatering festival food Boulder's come to love. For those feeling adventurous, try Goat Yoga and Mimosas at noon in the Stapp Toyota Fair Garden. It's exactly what it sounds like: yoga with playful baby goats, and a complimentary mimosa for those over 21. Bring your own mat and a sense of humor. Carnival rides and the energy of families and friends will be swirling through the fairgrounds all day, so don’t miss your last chance this summer to experience this local tradition.
If you find yourself yearning for a dose of art and culture, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is hosting Divine Rest Nests, an immersive exhibition inviting you to surrender to the restorative power of rest through imaginative installations. Over at the Dairy Arts Center this afternoon, film lovers can join the Denver Cinema Club for a special screening of the cult classic Woman in the Dunes at 4 PM—a perfect way to cool off and dive into some cinematic intrigue. And if musical theater is on your list, take a quick trip to Lafayette where The Arts Hub’s Head Over Heels is delivering high-energy comedy, all set to the electrifying music of the Go-Go’s.
History buffs and seekers of the mystical, the GaiaSphere Event Center in Louisville is hosting Gaia’s fourth annual Ancient Civilizations Conference this weekend. Today features a lineup of twelve experts sharing paradigm-shifting discoveries, including new findings beneath the Giza pyramids. In-person tickets are available, and for those who prefer to stay home, you can also stream the event online.
For music fans, the final day of the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival is happening just up the road in Lyons. The festival is known for its laid-back atmosphere, camping, delicious food, and stellar lineup of folk and acoustic acts. Whether you’re a die-hard camper or just looking for a Sunday afternoon escape, it’s worth the short drive.
As you enjoy your Sunday, a quick community reminder: Boulderites are being asked to remain alert about local wildlife after a mountain lion was spotted in a north Boulder neighborhood, tragically resulting in the loss of a small dog. This is a difficult story for our community, and local officials urge residents to keep pets close and be cautious during early morning or dusk walks.
In research news, CU Boulder scientists have made headlines for their discovery of airborne chemicals known as medium chain chlorinated paraffins, now circulating in the Western air. Researchers stress that understanding these pollutants is a vital next step in keeping Boulder’s environment clean and safe for all.
And finally, for those looking to stretch out the weekend, the Junkyard Social Club wraps up the day with their Summer Cult Film Series tonight, promising quirky fun for the city’s night owls.
That’s the pulse of Boulder for today—festivals, food, film, nature, and a reminder that our community is safer and stronger when we all look out for each other.
